This year Addysin was old enough to enjoy Valentines day so we went a bit over the top. Holidays are so fun with her getting older. We made cookies for her friends with a couple other treats. I was putting her to bed one night before valentines, after a tiring day for me, so I could finish her valentines. I know, I know. Why would I make her Valentines without her? Because thats what tired moms do so they can go to bed. Well she insisted on not going to bed so I let her come down. It was so much fun doing it together. She was overcome with happiness the whole time.
Example of the plates. The name cookies were snickerdoodles, and hearts were sugar with lemon icing.
Her signature
Valentines Day! Off to deliver the treats.
First stop. This is how she handed them off to her friends. Usually they knew we were coming and her friend would answer the door. She would immediatly shove it at them, they would take it, and walk away. It was funny to watch over and over again with different friends. She loved the Valentines she got in return. She had to have them at the table with her at every meal for the next week.
Chris' family grew up with the "Secret Sweetheart" and luckily she made it to our house this year! She rang our doorbell in the afternoon and when Addysin answered the door there were two gifts outside! The kids were excited about their new stuff. This picture was taken with my phone, poor quality.
Caiden got a football that isn't foam and cannot be ruined by his teeth.
Addysin got a leotard and Pocohantas story book.
It is my year to plan Valentines and our Anniversary. Since it was on a Sunday, we went to Zuppas the night before and I tryed to make a Grand meal the day of. After church and between each Valentine delivery, I spent the whole day making this beautiful meal. Dont let looks decieve you. It was actually not as good as I had expected. Fabulous huh? My neighbor made it much better on a different occasion.
It was a fun Valentines day, but mama over extended herself and it was exhausting.

She is so adorable! I love her innocent cute smile. I cannot wait to do those mommy/daughter activities with Kennedy. You're such a good mom!
We LOVED having her stop by! Robby saw this post and freaked out cause his valentine is all gone! He was so excited to get his from her though!
So cute. I kinda dropped the ball this Valentines Day. We gave all the kids their valentines at church & were worried we might get a finger shaked at us for doing that!
I keep meaning to tell you that i've made those rolls TWICE now! So good!! They've turned out both times & i have you to thank... from the bottom of my heart, seriously! I'm not afraid to make bread anymore ;o)
And how's Caiden feeling? Did that cough syrup work for him?
Good! i'm glad the cough syrup worked for him. If you want to buy it go to:

Click on "Nature's Sunshine" products or the logo & it's un der the children's supplements. That is the cheapest place I've found it. Stock up on it!
