Valentine's Day 2014

We had a lovely Valentine's Day yesterday.  Caroline declared it to be the "best Valentine's Day EVER!"    It fell on a Friday this year, so it was class party day.  Ann Parker doesn't normally go to school on Friday's but they get to go on party days even if it is not their day.  I got them dressed in their sweet Valentine's outfits and dropped them off at school.  Caroline's class was not having a party where parents attend - just a special snack and a cookie decorating activity.  I decided not to go to AP's class party so I could catch up on errands since they haven't had a normal week of school due to snow in the past three weeks.

One of my errands was picking up Dreamcakes cupcakes.  They got a little smashed, courtesy of Ann Parker, but they still tasted pretty darn good!!

After school, the girls got to go through their bags of Valentine's from their classmates and they also got a little happy from Mimi and Papa!  Every time Caroline pulled something out of her bag, she would say, "It's so beautiful! I love it!"  She is so gracious and sweet and I am just so proud of her!  Ann Parker gave her class little bags of teddy grahams and hershey's hugs and the tag said, "Bear Hugs! Love Ann Parker"  Caroline must really love her class.  She originally picked out these HUGE boxes of chocolates that were about $30 each...and when we need 11 that wasn't going to work out.  She settled for making cards herself, bubbles, bouncy balls, goldfish, and mini M&M's...seriously all of that.  Her bags were stuffed full!!

We met Adam for dinner at the Club and then came home for cupcakes and surprises for the girls!  They loved their new cups and plates, coloring books, fans, and Disney movies.  They got to watch both movies this morning and they loved them both.  Adam and I gave each other gifts and we ended up both giving each other something that wasn't in yet so we exchanged print outs of what is coming.

It was a wonderful day and I loved spending time with my three favorite people in the whole world!!  I couldn't have better Valentine's!
