Surprise Valentines

After a Valentine's Day party at Grandma's house, we weren't going to do much on the actual day.  But we came home and was surprised by Ed with sweet cards and flowers to share.

Every girl loves flowers!

Valentines Party

Sunday, February 13th we went to Grandma's annual Valentine's party.  Typically all the cousins come, but this year it was our little family and my sister's family.  The girls started out by making a craft with foam hearts and Valentine dogs.  This was the first year that Lucy was really able to assemble a craft.  Both Olivia and Lucy enjoyed putting them together.

After the craft it was time to eat the yummy treats that everyone brought and play with Grandma's toys.  The girls love playing with Grandma's toys.  Lucy kept sneaking pieces of chocolate and usually had chocolate drool.  Funny to see but not so fun with the laundry I have to do now.

Towards the end the girls exchanged Valentines with their cousins.

 

To Eat

Just a few photos from our week:

The Love Bugs have left treats once again at our house.  This time yummy heart shaped cakes for the girls.  Olivia is loving this new tradition and has told visitors more than once about the Love Bugs.

I remember when Olivia was roughly 15 months, she would also dip everything she ate.  Dipping Milestone!  Today Lucy was dipping her dill pickle in sour cream.  Not something that I would find pleasing but if it makes her happy!

Since I had the camera out, Olivia asked me to take a picture of her eating.  So here you go, a picture of Olivia eating.

Love Bugs

Today we have a visit from the Love Bugs.  They have come to stay at our house until Valentine's Day.  We're very excited to have these little visitors and the treats they leave behind.

Olivia was super excited when she found their note.

As a way to say thank you and welcome to our home we created a house for them to stay in.  Olivia said she wanted to make one that sparkles.  

We'll see if they reply back in a few days!  :)

I found the idea here.
