I heart hearts

Love-y glimpses of our V'tine Week......



I had a ball making Bugg's V'tines.
Idea from FamilyFun
The carrot stamps worked great.



scuse the hot glue line
And Mia's.......
so funny, right?
And the cousin's came to tea!
so.dang.cute.
They dressed their best
and nibbled on heart-shaped food
and sipped tea from real teacups.
Then we all went crazy and exchanged
Valentine's!


Auntie Em
haha, we've almost got the whole family
to buy Nikons!




My crafty contribution to this year's
V'tine whimsy filled with
valentine's from years gone by.






Mia made cards for everyone
and then we clipped a felt heart onto it
for the girls' hair.




Snuggles with Grandma






Snuggles with Grandpa

Snuggles with Grandma.
We are so happy to have so many
grandparents & family close to us!


Mia performed in a play at school.
The girl can haaaaaammmmm.


The Sweetheart Bubble Bath

Add this to a bubble bath
and you'll be a rock star!
The confetti looks awesome on top
of the pink bubbles.
Cookies, candles, and a favorite v'tine
book top it off.



I love this one



Valentine's Day morning
pretty much EQUALS
Christmas morning almost.
I.....LOVE......it.
Cupid came in the night and gave everyone sticker kisses
on their cheeks and chocolate.
Which Mia & Ella quickly devoured at 5am!
I found them with chocolate all over their faces,
oh, my.

The candlelit breakfast:
chocolate heart pancakes with strawberries,
heart eggs over-easy,
strawberry milk,
raspberry heart gummies,
and cinnamon lips.
And personalized sugar cookies with lots of frosting.
Hello.






These raspberry heart gummies
are right up there with chocolate.
Maybe even tied.


Both necklaces from Mia
She is so adorable.



Dinner by candlelight, naturally.
a PICNIC dinner.
With heart pizzas.

Bugg doesn't eat pizza.
Too tough to chew.
So he got some mixture of something
in the food processor.
Lucky guy.


By the way,
chocolate pancakes are not good.
Unless they have loads of strawberries on top.
I liked it but the rest of fam wasn't up for it.
So I had a re-do the next morning!
I mean, I couldn't allow a bad v'tine memory
to remain in their little heads now.
(I am completely absurd & ridiculous & I love it.)





Good night.
xoxoxo

  2. I wish I could come to your cookie party but Katie has a follow up from her endoscopy that day at 11 in Provo and my kids get out of school at 1:30, so it would be kind of tough to hit your party too. Sad!

  10. Holy bananas. Do you think your mom would adopt me so I can be in your family?!?! You guys are so super cute!

    I wish every single person in the world who hates Valentine's Day would read this post. I know they would have an instant change of heart and realize that love day really is the best day! But if they read all of your blog posts, they would realize that every day is actually the best day. Love it - love you!!!
