Valentine's Day

Today is a beautiful day! The snow is coming straight down and it's "warm" enough for the kids to enjoy being outside! They were up at 7:30 this morning playing in the snow. Kaylee had just left for school :( so I'll take more pictures when she gets home and starts making the snowmen and other fun things. Then I'll blog about the snow. For now, today is a great day to get caught up on some posts!

We'll start with Valentine's Day!!



I think we discovered a new tradition!! Gingerbread houses!

What do you do if you have 2 kits that you never got around to doing at Christmas time?
Save them for a holiday that falls before the April expiration date! :)

Valentine's Day was on a Monday this year, but on Sunday we gave gifts and the girls gave Matt and I a heart attack. Then, on Valentine's Day we did the houses. The girls had fun and it made our living room look festive once again!

(And a note to sweet Thomas! Are you wondering why you weren't in any of these pictures? I'm so sorry you weren't, but this was at the tale end of a week of sickness for you and you were still sleeping like crazy. You slept through the gift giving on Sunday afternoon, but we did save you some treats. Then Monday night you were asleep right after dinner when we did the houses. We missed you, but you are healthy now, and to be honest...you are 19 months old...you would've destroyed these houses anyway! :) But hey....we LOVE YOU!)
