Valentines 2011

Because January is SUCH A LONG MONTH we had plenty of time to decide to make Valentines decorations this year. We spent about a week and a half making everything, but in the end it made our house really festive!!
Here are a few of them.








We also had to make cookies. These are the ones I decorated.


These are the rice Krispy treats we made for Evan's class.


These are those same rice krispy treats cut out with bigger hearts to make really cool hearts.


This is Evan decorating his cookies.


Brayden doing the same thing.


Then, realizing that no one else was going to want to eat the cookies they decorated, I let them eat their own cookie. Funny thing, Brayden didn't even want to eat his. . . too much stuff on it I think!



Valentines morning was full of fun and surprise. Evan put it best when in his prayer he said, "thank you for Holidays and for having surprises pop into our eyes when we come down in the morning of holidays". He was really cute. They enjoyed all sorts of fun!



This is my "beating" heart for my wonderful Husband Josh! It turned out cute.


These are our pancakes for the morning.



This is our Pinata party. We had our friends the Petersons over. It took awhile again to break the pinata.



And here is proof that the kids were doing their best. Evan really went at it this time!


After a few more hits, the two men tried. Once they were done a few of the toys were broken, but it was open and everyone had fun!!

Overall it was a fun day and the kids really enjoyed it. We had had a busy weekend of friends, more friends, and more friends as well as love notes, candy, cookies and chocolates. Now that it's all done. . . we're moving onto the next holiday! I have to live up the the eye popping experience of each Holiday!!! :)
