Happy Valentines - I Love You all day long and then some...

We started the day off just right with heart shaped waffles, topped with strawberries, cream, and syrup, yes plenty of sugar for the day. 
 Dinner was heart shaped pizza's at Grandma and Grandpa's with all the cousins.
The pizza's were perfect and so very good.
 It does not show but on the chicken Alfredo, the Alfredo was even pink.  We also had hear shaped sugar cookies and cinnamon rolls.  Plenty of love floating around.  Since it was also family night we watched part of a movie called Emmanuel's Gift, about a young boy who made a difference in many lives.  He only had one leg and he rode his bike across Ghana and many other places, Amazing story.
 Miriah also informed me on the way to school that her teacher was smarter than me, since BLUE is a valentines color too.  She is so funny, she loves school and never wants to miss.

For years the kids have wanted to go to Build A Bear, so we went for Valentines.
What an experience, and the kids were thrilled.
 Britton picked out a dog.
 He got to pick a heart for him, and he rubbed it on his head so the dog would be smart and over his heart so it would be lovable.  The sales lady was really cute with them and they thought it was so much fun.




 Then he put the heart in his dog...
 got to give him a bath...
 Miriah picked a bunny...
 she rubbed the heart in her hands so it would be warm and snuggly
 placed it inside...
 and went to the bath area
 Hollie did the same, she is fill her bunny up with lots of love

 rubbing her head so it will be smart...
 and closing her up...
 getting her all clean...
 lots of hugs...
 Getting them dressed was the hardest part...
 and the fun began, dad got involved.  We think he had more fun dressing the puppy than Britton, he really got into it.
 Even shoes, really now!
 Almost done...
 Hollie naming her bunny "Ladybug"
Miriah's bunny is "Honey bunny", and Britton's puppy is "Rocky"

 Later that night, all of them in my bed.

Kids, Candles, Boys

 Us trying to get a good picture of the kids with Kofee to send to Brady
 Sweet Dog!

 Miriah wanted her picture taken for Brady.
 The lights went out one night so we ate dinner and did homework by candlelight.  It was such a peaceful evening, maybe we should go back to using candles all the time.
 One of our favorite things is feeding the basketball team lunch on B days, this was just one of those days when they stayed and hung out, Great boys.  So fun, wish the camera had been working better.
