Valentines Day

Valentines day this year came and went so quickly. Between guests, a weekend in St. George for a baby blessing and a weekend in Salt Lake for a baptism it has been kind of crazy at our house. Though it has been crazy we have loved every minute of it. We came to the conclusion that we see our family less living in Vegas, but when we do see them it is quality time. Quality verses quantity I guess. Our kids have especially enjoyed the one on one time with grandparents and cousins.

Abbie made this robot to take to school for her Valentines Day party. She won 3rd place in her class which she was thrilled about. By the end of the day this poor robot was missing his arms and feet. Abbie and Micah had a good time creating this Valentine box--though the vision was entirely Abbie's. Abbie was insistent that she buy us all gifts this year with her own money. Micah took her shopping the day before Valentines and she picked us all out something that she thought we would enjoy. She is so very thoughtful. She picked me out a ring that I really love and will treasure.

Avery's class made these cute Valentine folders for school. She of course loved all the candy, and parties with her classmates. On Valentines Day we exchanged our little family's gifts and had a great day together. We topped it off with an ALL pink dinner. We had a lot of fun making everything pink together.

This was my card from Micah. Hmmmmm....... For those of you that know how silly he is you will laugh. Others of you will think this is strange. We got a good laugh out of it and luckily he wrote a nice note inside to make up for the silliness. His gift on the other hand is still hiding in our house somewhere. I was worried about him finding it (because he hates surprises and snoops around) so therefore I put it somewhere that he wouldn't find it. I hid it so well that I can't find it either. I've turned our house upside down and it's still missing. Oh well, it will be a fun surprise to discover another day.

Too Cute!!!

When Abbie went to get the mail yesterday she was being a little suspicious. I did notice that she had scissors in hand, but didn't think much of it. The day went on as usual and I had forgotten about her strange behavior.

The next morning as I pulled out of the driveway I noticed this sign on the light post. She is such a sweet heart. I could really learn a lesson from her in trying to help others. Too cute!!!
