Happy Valentine's Day!

We had lots of fun getting ready for and enjoying Valentine's Day this year. Rexford chose Toy Story Valentines with lollipops and wrote the names on them by himself. Austin had to take Valentines to our "Mommy and Me" class so he picked out Cars and Toy Story ones with pencils to give out. That morning the boys were excited to open their gifts from me and Brian and they loved their new books, toy cars, and candy. I made pink chocolate chip pancakes and they loved them! Then we took Rexford to school and Austin and I went to our "Mommy and Me" party. After that we went back to Rexford's school for his class party where the kids had happy meals and cupcakes, decorated buckets, and passed out their Valentine cards. I didn't make heart pizzas for dinner like we normally have but we bought pizza so we didn't have to cook :) Then we made heart sugar cookies and decorated them with icing and sprinkles. Rexford and Austin had so much fun helping roll out the dough and use the cookie cutters. They especially liked pouring the sprinkles on the cookies and eating them. It was a fun day!
