Valentines Day 2009

The girls showing off their new Valentine pillowcases G'ma made along with their books. Thanks G'ma and G'pa for always spoiling us and making holidays so much fun! Cohen and Dad showing off his new book from G'ma and G'pa...also his new Hot Wheels!
Claire more interested in the toy than in the food. Typical Claire.


Emerson showing off her new rabbit smile. She just lost another tooth and thinks pulling this face is so cute!


Our McDonald dinner by candlelight
We had such a fun Valentines this year. I am not a fan of going out on Valentines Day, I mean you wait for a good 2 hours or more if you don't have reservations and I find that INSANE! Plus it is always hard to find a sitter on such a day, although my parents did offer to take the kids but I wanted them to go out and do something special for themselves. So, this year I decided to decorate the table let the kids choose what we ate and eat it by candlelight. The kids decided on McDonald's Happy Meals and homemade chocolate cake that I let the kids decorate with Valentine goodies. It all turned out yummy and it was fun to watch the girls get so excited over everything. After dinner it was movie in mom and dads bed but not long into the movie we had some surprise door bell ringing going on. Out on the front porch was a bag filled with lot of goodies and of course lots of LOVE! Gramma and Grampa Warrick delivered some of the cutest Valentines around.(see above pictures) What would we do without G'ma and G'pa around? You guys always make every holiday so special and fun for the kids.
Happy Valentines Day Everyone!
(oh...thanks Audree and Jens for the yummy homemade chocolate dipped strawberries..YUM! You can bet that I sat in bed that night eating those and the V-chocolates caramel apple that I got Scott:)
