Valentines week was very fun this year! The celebration started a little early for me but it was good because it kept my mind off my aches and pains :/. Hannah's school had a valentines dance the Sat before V-day and it was a fun date night with my daughter. She was beyond ecstatic to go....when she woke up that morning she was asking me what time are we going to get ready about every hour! At 6 she ran to her room to change into her new dress, ate dinner, fixed her hair and was ready to party! It was a great night- she was a little shy in the beginning because it was mainly the 4 and 5th graders dominating the dance floor. Once she spotted two of her kinder friends and waited for the dance floor to clear a little... she was able to show off her moves!!
Chillin, eatin some popcorn...waiting for the dance floor to clear
In the earlier part of the week we baked cookies and of course made crafts. To my surprise Lulu didnt go wild and crazy over the candy and cookies in front of her. She is the true Cookie Monster. She does not know when to stop, but she was really interested in helping us bake and then decorate!
I was so happy to volunteer at Hannah's class on Valentines day. It was so cute to see all her classmates hand out their cards and enjoy their friendship party!
When we got home from school the girls opened their Vday gifts :)
Ok, so my mom is just awesome. She can do anything she puts her mind to. I told her that I wanted to make chocolate pretzel sticks for Gabe but didn't get around to it so she tells me she will do them when Hannah gets off from school so they can bake together! Like no surprise they came out yummy and excellent presentation....she is a perfectionist so she won't hand over the goods if they don't look good!!! And as an added bonus she made cake balls for Gabe bc she knows he goes crazy over them!!
Last two photos....I had to post this one of Lulu bc she wore her Valentine Hello kitty outfit that she got from a dear aunt in Cali almost everyday and night! She would cry when I washed them twice that week- this is a pict the day before Vday finally smiling after a major heart ache when putting her new outfit in the wash, lol!
The last photo will probably be the last family picture of my pregnant belly- I think I was 27 weeks (I'm 30 weeks now).
