Valentine's Day

I figure as long as I post pics of a holiday within the same month of that holiday I'm good. I still have X-Mas so hopefully I can get those up before it rolls around this year!

On one of our surprise snow days, we (meaning me) decided to do a Valentine's Day craft. I found this cute idea online and went to work with Avery. Using red and pink paints and her handprints, we made these sweet hearts and did the same with Ella's feet. I tried Ella's hands but it was hard to get her to open them up and stay put!! These cards went out to our family for Valentine's Day! It's about as crafty as I can get :)

work in progress:




the final product!


Nana had the girls, Molly, Cissy, My Mom, Avery, Ella & I, over for a Valentine's lunch and we had so much fun and ate such yummy food!
This is Cissy and Avery's table...

Nana and Avery...her face is not "dirty" she was playing make-up before we left and I tried to get as much off as I could


Me & My Sweethearts inthe shirts/bibs that Nana made for us


avery had to bring valentine's to school for all her classmates so Tim and her went to the store to pick them out. she couldn't decide so lucky girl got 4 different boxes to choose from. we had to put them all together right when they got home
