Making Valentine's is always a favorite activity at our house! It seems to just keep going because we have so many family members the kids want to make them for. It seems like I had to get out the Valentine stuff over and over again and I was cleaning it up all week. 
Rylee LOVED these foam stickers because she could do it all by herself and she was pretty artistic with the way she placed them on some of her Valentine's. She would put them all in a line or stagger them and had pretty even spacing. 
She is much more into art projects and stuff like this than Logan. She could do it all day long! She liked to use about 10 hearts on each Valentine and finished off a HUGE box of foam stickers! 
Logan is really into coloring and writing and spelling lately. He chose some funny basketball Valentine's this year that turned into little hoops and you could shoot little paper balls into them. He did a great job writing everyone's names on them for his class. 
This is the Valentine he made for Uncle Kyle. It is not a good picture of Logan, but I love his writing. He spelled this all by himself - it says "Star Wars"

Yep....Avery was there, too! She just hung out in her swing and sucked on her fingers. 
Since Valentine's Day was on a Sunday this year, Darren and I went out on Saturday. We went on a date with our friends, the Lifferth's and the Barker's. We saw the movie Sherlock Holmes (which was great!) and went to dinner at Outback Steakhouse. It was really fun! My mom was nice enough to watch the kids for us. Avery refused to take a bottle, so my mom did end up bringing her to dinner so I could feed her and then taking her back home. What a great Mom! Before we went out, I wanted some Valentine pictures of the kids and Logan wanted to take his picture with Uncle Brad's bearded dragon. Whatever it takes to get him to cooperate! 
My cute girls! They had matching shirts that said "Valentine Princess" 
I tried to get a picture of all 3....kind of hard to do! 
Kisses for Avery
This is the best we could do! 
Finally a smile from Avery! 
She had a great time celebrating her 1st Valentines! My brave sister also took all 4 of the grandkids for pictures for my mom while we were at dinner. I think she is crazy! They turned out cute though.
On Valentine's morning, I got up and made heart shaped RED chocolate chip pancakes for my cute Valentine's. Yummy! Avery loves to "help" me cook and talk to me while she chills in her Bumbo. 
Rylee showing me her chocolate chip pancake. It is her favorite breakfast! 
Rylee takes off her pajamas to eat in the mornings for some reason, and Logan decided to do the same. He doesn't usually do this, but here are some shots of him eating his pancake in his underwear....
Rylee is a cute chocolate mess! 
Before church, there was a knock at the door and Cupid made a visit! He dropped off some boxes of kisses for Logan and Rylee on the porch and they were SO excited!!! 
Avery on her 1st Valentine's day. It is so much fun dressing her up! 
Rylee insisted on jumping in some pictures, too. 
Me and Avery
After church, Mom and Dad gave the kids some fun Valentine's baskets with some fun little treats. They love this kind of stuff! Logan's had a book about sharks, some art stuff and a little finger skateboard. 
Rylee with her basket - She didn't wear this vest to church, but wanted to wear it the rest of the day for some reason. She loves to dress herself! She got a book and a crown and wand and art stuff.

Valentine Princess!
This is our AMAZING gourmet dinner. I am SO lucky to have a hubby who is the BEST at making me special dinners like this. My mom got us lobster to have for Valentine's and he made yummy steak, sauteed mushrooms, asparagus and sweet potato fries. Delicious!!! 
The kids loved our fancy Valentine dinner
Just to prove that Avery was there, too
Yep...there was yummy dessert, too! This is some kind of chocolate mousse stuff with yummy raspberries and it was even heart shaped. What a great hubby I have!!! This was AMAZING! I got him a massage for Valentine's to reward him for all his hard work.
