Valentine's Day

This year on Valentine's Day, David had work, so the kids and I were alone for the first half of the day. We celebrated early this morning with some heart shaped chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, yum! 

I asked my Mom to watch Emma and I took Katie to see the new Spongebob movie. Emma and my Mom went on a walk around her neighborhood and played on the swing in her backyard. Katie and I had an Icee and popcorn and enjoyed the movie. There were tons of kids there, it was packed. I was surprised so many people spent Valentine's Day with their kids lol. I always thought it was a couples holiday. We all had a nice morning.

 Katie and I had also planned to surprise David with a pink/red heart meal tonight. We bought cookie cutters and were thinking about doing heart shaped burgers or heart meatballs and spaghetti or something, with pink milk (food coloring) and heart straws and a Valentine tablecloth. But then David surprised us! He brought home take out food and balloons and cards for us. Katie set the table and we enjoyed our family dinner together. It was nice. David and I aren't too big on Valentine's Day, but we do like to do something. Having the kids around is fine with me =) I gave David a gift card for a massage, he loves those. He also won $20 on some scratchers I stuck in his bag. Pretty cool =) Thankful for our family!

Valentine's Day 2014

This was Emma's first Valentine's Day. Mary gave her this outfit, and my Grandma made her a new headband. We hung out at my Grandma's today, after we took Katie to school.

 Later, I went to Katie's school party while David watched Emma. She was allowed to dress down if she wore a Valentine shirt, so I went to the store to find her one a few days ago. She will take any dress down day she can get! haha. 

 Her friends were talking my ear off the whole time I was there, haha. They were all showing off and wanting me to watch them do tricks.

 Katie's mailbox for her cards.

 Mrs. Ottaviano made these snacks for the kids, cute.

 The Valentines Katie passed out. Found the idea on Pinterest =)

 Katie and her bff Abby.

 David and I took the girls out to dinner at Applebee's, Katie's current favorite restaurant.

Hope the girls had a nice day today =)

Daisy Valentine Party

 Katie's troop had a Valentine's Day potluck at our weekly meeting. Katie wanted to bring her favorite frosted sugar cookies, so we went to the store to pick some out =)

 She made me a beautiful Valentine Card.

She even earned some petals for her uniform today =) Proud of her!

The Girl Scouts is pretty cute and fun, I'm glad we joined =)

Valentine Pup

David had school on Valentine's Day, so Katie and I made a girls night instead. After work I took her to Build-A-Bear in the skirt Gee Gee made for her.

 There were a lot of tough decisions.

 But she ended up with a dog.

 She took good care of her and bought her a pretty Valentine outfit with wings. It was a nice night out together, but we were both tired from being at school and work all day.

 On our way home we stopped by Grandma's house to give her the chocolates Katie picked out for her.

Katie's First Valentine Party

Katie woke up to presents from Mommy and Daddy on Valentine's Day. (Sorry the blinds are ruining my photos =/ )

 David sent this for Katie in the mail. So sweet of him if you ask me!

 We made little baggies of candy and toys for her class, and bought chocolate apples for her teachers.

Her class eating their special snacks.

Mailboxes to put their cards in.

 

Happy Valentine's Day!!

David and I bought Katie her dream present! An M&M dispenser, haha. She loves it!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Thank you Mom for watching Katie for us while we went to dinner and a movie!

Valentine's Photoshoot

I took Katie to the front yard in her Valentine dress to take some pictures of her to send out to family and friends. They came out pretty cute, Katie is great at posing for the camera!

 She said  this means "I love you" because she's holding her heart, haha. I love her.

 The sun was messing up some of my pictures :/ It was bright out!

I love my little model :)

Valentine Breakfast

My family went to eat at "Surf's Up! Breakfast with Mickey & Friends" for Valentine's Day. I chopped off Sammy and Thomas for Desiree's benefit lol. (Because she scares me lolol)The kids with Mickey.
Poor Stitch, does anyone even like him? Haha.
The kids ate a little. Mostly just cereal I think. They wanted to go dance with Mickey.

The breakfast bar. The food was SO yummy!

Playing around.

Mickey and his friends danced with all the kids :) Katie ran off to play with some drums :/

Hannah & Mickey :)

Outside there were some remote control cars set up for the kids to play.

After breakfast, Mary let the kids play in the fountain. Til a worker told her that's not allowed! lol

"You wet me!"Mary bought Hannah a Peter Pan toy at the store, because that's her favorite movie.

Katie picked Sleeping Beauty & Prince Phillip. She made them dance together and sang their song "Once Upon A Dream"
