Valentine's Day

We did quite a few fun things for Valentine's. It all began with Steph's Valentine Exchange party. I brought my homemade salsa and chips - please note that I did NOT do a paper craft. Laura helped me a LOT with making my valentines. The party was super fun and her house looked great. It was wonderful to spend time with Steph and Marnie and to meet Elisa.
Laura delivered Valentine's to her class and to many of her friends around the neighborhood. Jason helped her get all of them ready while I was doing New Beginnings. She also delivered to grandparents and cousins. Here she is with Lily.
The girls really enjoyed valentine's gifts they received from others. The charms and the chalk mat were the highlights. THANK YOU everyone!
The girls also loved the little bags of gifts they received from us. Valentine's is such a sweet holiday. I love that the girls can be so excited and feel so special with only $6 worth of items. I think the chapstick was the biggest hit of all.
Jason and I watched both of Deb's boys so they could have a Valentine's date. Due to a kidney stone, exhaustion and major sickness, Jason and I celebrated Valentine's at home and in the hospital. Thanks to J's mom for watching the girls while I was getting my IV. But, I would like to report that I have the best husband in the whole wide world and that I love him more than anything!

  3. You didn't mention our shopping excursion - I'm devastated. Hospital trip - I'm guessing either Saturday night or Sunday?

  5. IV? I wish I would have known!
    Call me! It WILL get better. I am hoping since this was posted a while ago that it already is. If it wasn't Monday evening, I'd give you a call. Take Care, Cathy
