Valentine's Day

We started our Valentine week off by labeling valentine's cards for family and friends. We decided to do it for our family home evening activity. The girls have had them for several weeks just waiting to put names on them. We did Bailey and Trevor's a few days early so we could mail them (hopefully they have them by now... if not they're coming). After we labeled valentines we decorated sugar cookies. The girls love decorating cookies, Camden just likes eating them as you'll see in the pictures. These activities allowed us to talk as a family about love and the people we love. They were able to come up with quit a list! It's amazing the love that kids show... it has no limits!

On Saturday, Alan arranged for Megan, my sister, to come babysit so we could go to a late lunch. We went to the Grille from Ipanema, a Brazilian restaurant. It was really nice to being together and not worrying about kids. Alan gave me a camera that fits in my purse so that we don't have to carry our bigger one everywhere we go. It has great zoom and some fun features. After lunch, we took the time to go do some birthday shopping for Kairi. Her birthday is Feb. 23rd. I commented how her future husband will have valentines day and birthday to do in a little over a week! We got home around 5 and said goodbye to Megan. After the kids were in bed we watch a movie, not a romantic movie... why would we do that? We watched Eagle Eye. It wasn't as bad as I thought it could be, it kept my attention the whole time. We got to bed a little after 10, which is soooo late for us, well mostly me. It was hard getting up for 9 o'clock church the next morning. It was fun spending time with the man that I married a little over 6 years ago. I love him so much! I can't imagine life without him.




Camden's new favorite thing is coloring. So while the girls labeled valentine's Camden colored.




Camden had 3 unfrosted cookies while we frosted the cookies. He didn't even want to frost, he was just content to watch and eat.


The girls were taking decorating very seriously and as you can see below Alan was having fun.




While we were decorating cookies Tahlia crawled under Alan's chair and was trying to sit up. Every time she tried to sit up she bumped her head... so got so mad!
