It was the day before the school’s valentine party and I had yet to decide what we were going to do.  I searched for homemade valentines on the internet and saw an idea that came up in a couple of blogs.  I thought it was too cute and would be so easy so when the kids got home from school I grabbed them and took their picture before they could even come in the door.  This was the finished project.

It was probably the easiest Valentines I’ve ever done.  The hardest part was finding lollipops.  Even these dumdums were hard to find.  They were a big hit though.  The kids’ friends loved them.  Lex enjoyed giving his to his cousins and Kimber had fun giving hers to her Grandmas.

For Valentines day Jared made me breakfast.  It was from Pioneer Woman’s cookbook.  I think Jared loves that book as much as I do.

It made me gag though.  Sorry honey, I’m just not a rawish egg type of person.

But then he made up for it by making this totally yummy cheesecake dish from the Magic Bullet recipe book.  NumNum.

I made a version of Outback’s Alice Springs Chicken for dinner.  It was super yummy but we all felt like we were going to have a heart attack afterward. I forgot to take any pictures of it.

We then went up to my parents to celebrate and so we could all trade Valentines.  My mom puts so much effort into her gifts for the kids.

They all love it!

This year she made headband/earwarmers for the girls.  They were so cute.

Jared and I couldn’t help but get in on the fun, so we took some pics too!

I haven’t been doing month to month photos anymore for Kimber but I think I’ll do every quarter until she’s two.  Plus, she was exceptionally cute on her 15 month mark so I had to take some pictures.
