Valentine Fun

We had so much fun getting ready for Valentine's Day!! I had the boys working on their Valentine's a little each day a week before the special day.

I saw this Olaf (from Frozen) valentine on a blog. Tommy thought it was the best! He loved saying the quote: Hi! I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!
 He was super excited for his Valentine's party at school. Here is all his loot:)
 Damon picked these cute ipod valentines out of boxes of conversation hearts. So him! They turned out really awesome!
 Here's miss Hanny playing in the fort the boys made.
 Our sweet little Tub of Love:)
 Blowing a kiss:)
 We were so lucky to have grandma come visit! Luckily she flew in right before a storm which cancelled a lot of flights. We loved having her here and tried to convince her to change her flight to leave later. She built a snowman with Tommy (Damon helped at the very end because he was at school).

 Hannah's working hard on her valentines!
 We had pink heart pancakes for breakfast the day before Valentine's Day because school was cancelled from the storm. On Valentine's Day, we had cinnamon rolls with pink frosting. I made Damon and Barrett's sandwiches into hearts and snuck in a little valentine into their lunches. Barrett and I were able to go look at 2 houses without kids, thanks to Grandma! We frosted sugar cookies after school. We made heart shaped pizza, had raspberry lemonade, and ate a delicious valentine edible arrangement from Grandpa. We decorated valentine bags and delivered all our valentines to each other. So fun. We also played a few valentine minute to win it games. Valentine's Day is way more fun with kids:) 
 Barrett and I were able to break away from the kids Saturday afternoon and evening. We went up north to our old stomping grounds and shopped/browsed. We ate at the Cheesecake Factory and  had the perfect meal. It was such a great time!

Tommy and Damon made little snowmen one morning before school. When I picked Damon up from school, they had melted!

 Hannah really loved having Grandma here. We were sad to see her leave.


February Catch Up

On Sundays, I usually load all the pictures of the week from the camera onto the computer. I guess I forgot I had been taking pictures because I found all these fun ones!
Tommy wanted to be a ninja one afternoon. We took a long sleeve shirt and wrapped up his head.
 He decided he wanted to be all one color:)
 We finally let Hannah join in the snow fun. She loved it, but got pretty cold.

 There was finally a Saturday with decent weather so we went to the temple. Hannah had to bring her baby in the car. Then she had to carry her around outside and in the visitor's center. It was pretty adorable!
 I had to take a picture of Hannah playing with this little representation of the Church Welfare Farms. You can't tell, but it is of a grape vine and raisins. I have so many memories of the Grape Farm and had to tell my kids all about it!!
 We sure love making Oreo penguins!
 We had a movie party one Friday night and rented Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 and ate pizza! Hannah got bored with the movie and kept bugging everyone, so we sat her in front of the ipad watching Barney. I looked over and saw her like this...she's hilarious:)
