Happy Valentine's Day

Today we celebrated Valentine's Day with a yummy sprinkle donut breakfast and heart-shaped bacon.  Later in the day Hayden enjoyed v-day crafts, face painting, and an ice-cream-sundae at his preschool party.  Then before picking up Jake at the airport, we had our traditional valentine's day scavenger hunt!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

We had such a FUN day today!  We started the morning with a yummy Valentine's breakfast & made holiday cards.  We then did some fun V-day heart activities!  After our Muffin Tin lunch, we surprised Hayden with a trip to the movie theater to see Gnomeo & Juliet, which was a cute movie!  (Thank you again, Daddy for taking the day off of work to celebrate Valentine's day)  After Hayden's nap, we had our traditional Valentine Scavenger Hunt!  I love this part, because Hayden gets SO excited to find all the clues to his V-day goodies!  We ended the night with a tasty dinner... Pretzels & Cheese, then yummy Cupcake Fondue!  Couldn't have asked for a better day!! 

  

Muffin Tin Monday: PB&J Heart Sandwiches, strawberry/cheese arrows, heart marshmallows,

 pretzle hearts, cranberries, and berry applesauce.

 

Valentine Candy Buttons

I use to LOVE Candy Buttons when I was little.  I was so excited when I found the recipe to make them with Hayden.  Although... not sure why I liked them so much... actually probably because they are almost all sugar! 

Will you be my Valentine?

Hayden worked pretty hard addressing all of his construction Valentine's for his preschool friends.  He wanted to write ALL of their names by himself, and did a fantastic job with it! The next day after his ice cream preschool party, Hayden was so excited to show me all the Valentine's he received!!

Winter Blues...

We were sick of looking at all the snowmen and snowflake decorations, so we decided to pack them up, and breakout the hearts and cupids.  Hayden loved putting up all the hearts, and kept asking what a cupid has to do with Valentine's day. :)  We also tried to make some heart-shaped Whoopie Pies to surprise Daddy after work.

Happy Valentine's Day

Today we had a nice family day celebrating Valentine's! We enjoyed heart- shaped food, a Valentine's Day Treasure Hunt, and fun playing with all of Hayden's v-day goodies!

 

Will You Be My Valentine?

Unfortunately, our little guy has another ear infection :(, so we had a laid back weekend gearing up for Valentine's Day in a week!  We made a few Valentine crafts, and set out our Valentine mailbox.  Every once in a while, Hayden finds the flag up and a little note or surprise inside!  It is adorable how excited he gets to see the flag on the mailbox up and a heart-shaped note in it.  He carries the note around with him for a little while after he finds it!!

The truck is filled with hearts and names of everyone that he loves!!
