Valentine's!

The evening before Valentine's Day, we went for a special treat with grandma and grandpa to Moonstruck Chocolate for their amazing chocolate shakes. Mmmmm. They were very busy with people buying valentine's!
Daddy always gives his girls a flower for Valentine's - what a sweet dad.

Natalie made this adorable mobile for daddy. Isn't it cute? She comes up with this stuff on her own. Actually I think she found the idea in one of our art books, but she does it all on her own. What a cutie.

Hanging out with grandma and grandpa is our favorite. We love just hanging out, playing games, watching movies and laughing with grandma and grandpa. We even had them try out Rock Band on the Wii! It was lots of fun and lots of laughs!

Valentine's day was on Sunday, so the girls had just a few minutes to see their valentine's before we headed off to church.

Sarah loves those Magic 8 balls that tell you the "future" or answer your yes/no questions.

I found this idea in Family Fun - to make one using Magic clay wrapped around a liquid-filled baby food jar. Inside you put a small cube of Styrofoam with foam glued to each side and a prediction written on it like, "In your dreams" or "definitely". It really turned out cute, if I do say so myself and Sarah LOVED it. She took it to school for show and tell the next week and all her friends were enthralled. She said everyone wanted to play with it and ask it questions.

Small and simple things . . . it doesn't take much to make kids happy. (usually!)

Natalie loves teeny tiny things, so she got this teeny tiny pool table. She has it in the Barbie house now so the Barbies can play!

My Valentine from my valentine. (o: Aren't they pretty?

We made melty chocolate lips for dessert that night and served them with homemade pink ice-cream.

This heart puzzle was Angela's Valentine. She's my puzzle girl.

I love Valentine's day and it was so much more fun celebrating with grandma and grandpa! We had a wonderful day together!
