Our Valentines

We enjoyed a low-key Valentine's Day (and days leading up to it...) this year. Since we were not all well and the weather has been warm and then cold and then warm again, we've had less energy/time to plan and just kept it simple.

Hugs!

Giggles!

Love. What cuties!

I did get the girls some fun little trinkets - stickers, notebooks, stuffed animal, necklaces - from the dollar store mostly but the biggest hit has been the window clings. Nora and Janie both like to move them around, usually at the same time, and usually causing a bit of a disagreement, but both of them like them none the less. Surprisingly, Janie nor Ford has tried to eat them and I believe that we still have most of them on the windows.

Valentine plates!

Happy to eat off of her kitty plate & cup.

Funny girl!

There's a smile!

Some more goodies.

Nora had a little Valentine's Day party in her early pre-school class and was super thrilled to bring home a bag full of cards and goodies that she had gotten from her friends at school. She opened each one in the car on the way home and actually listened when I told her not to open up any of the candy, thank goodness.

Getting into her bag of goodies at home.

So happy after school!

Janie couldn't wait to open her valentine, either!

Griffin gave her a valentine rainbow loom bracelet!!!

We had X & O doughnuts with heart shaped bacon & eggs for breakfast. The girls loved the doughnuts the most!

We took the girls to the park in the morning as it was a beautiful day! Nora walked up and down the stairs essentially the whole time. She went on the swings once and down the slide once, but got a little freaked out as she ended up head first somehow, and stuck to the stairs. She had fun though! Janie LOVED the swing, walked around some, but mostly wanted to be held as she started to get sleepy a bit earlier than usual.

Nora on her beloved stairs. 

She would NOT let me take a picture of her smiling...

Janie, on the other hand, did not mind at all!

After the girls went down for their naps, Justin and I went out to eat lunch & shop, just the two of us, and to visit with some friends while Kathy watched the girls. We had a great day outside & really enjoyed our day overall!

Janie loves you THIS MUCH!

Happy Valentine's Day to you!!
