Crazy Love and Crafty Cuteness!

A small sampling of our St. Valentine's Day fun:

Stuff they love, written on heart-shaped post-its.

Something I love?  Their sweetly childish handwriting!

The kitchen craft board is crowded with tissue paper hearts, snowflakes, and their first attempt at folded heart cut-outs.  So fun!

We are so blessed to have a babysitter who does creative art projects with the kids while Jess and I are out together.  Miss Tia turned our simple little tissue paper pompom craft into a bouquet of hanging tissue flowers!  The heart garland was another of her fun ideas.  The kids love it when she comes over!  They worked on these projects before the holiday, and I'm sure we'll have to keep the decorations up for at least a week.

Our super healthy Valentine's Day Dinner = 

Build Your Own Ooey Gooey Ice Cream Sundaes!

Yum.  Hardly ever... a nice treat.

Here are the big kids with cards they got in the mail from Grandmom and Grandad this afternoon.  It is such a treat for them to see their names on a real envelope from the mailbox!  They opened their Valentines after dinner and carried them around until bedtime.  I think Jojo actually took his to keep under his little pillow.  Judah crashed early tonight, so he'll have to wait until tomorrow to see his Valentine's Day card!
