Valentine's 2013


Valentine's Day this year turned into a week of celebrating. Two days before Valentine's Day Grandma Sampson came over and decorated heart shaped cookies with the kids (this is such a tradition from my childhood). The day before Valentine's we had our cousins, over for a cousin party.

Here are the Valentine boxes. David had Thomas, Vivian had Percy and Lucy made a cat. David still plays with his. He loves it!
The Valentine's the kids gave out: Lucy did the fish (she wrote "from Lucy" on 27 of them between her preschool class, neighborhood friends and cousins!), Vivian had the traditional Valentines and David did the car ones.


At  the cousin party, we played ring around the rosies, red light/green light (I cut the "lights" in heart shapes for them to hold up), pin the heart on David and then we passed around grab bags while we sang and whoever was holding the bag when the music stopped got to open it. We kept going until each kid got to open a bag. Then we ate yummy cookies from Grandma Kay and Aunt Becky while they passed out their Valentine's to one another. Good times.

My card to Marc (I calculated form our first date, which I would venture to say is pretty much right on)
My card from Marc. LOVE

The kids loved these little monkeys. It made their morning when they woke up to find these.



David wore his monkey all morning!

Lucy's hair for her preschool party. David had a preschool party too, but I forgot to take pictures. He made a Valentine box, read Valentine books and decorated a cookie there. When Marc asked him what he did, he said, "We ran around." Which was also true ;)



Marc came home with flowers for all of his ladies and balloons for all the kids. Such a good Daddy.

We ended the night with heart shaped pizza and . . .
the most delicious dessert from Harmons. Mmmmmm
