Valentine's Day

Zack and I got to go out the night before Valentine's Day (thanks for babysitting, Mom!). And then we  spent an entire day with the kids on Valentine's Day.  They didn't have school, which was AWESOME! 

I made a card to send to Zack and to our family...

We ordered our valentines about 2 weeks ahead because Emmy wanted to start working on hers.  We had to get Frozen ones of course.  She spent a TON of time writing her name on all of them, and then writing each friend's name.  We also mailed some to our good friends and cousins. 

 She had a method and was very organized - checking names off as she went...

On Valentine's Day, we woke up and went straight to Lamar's for breakfast.  They had huge heart donuts. Perfect!  After that, we went to see the Lego Movie.  Smith had sat through another movie a few months ago and did great, so we figured he could do it again.  He couldn't.  He and I ended up walking around about half the time.  Oh well, we are almost there!  The older kids loved it.

After the movie, we came home and we gave the kids each a new sticker book.  They sat for hours and worked on them, played a lot of legos, and we rested for a bit.

Then we had a heart shaped pizza for dinner, followed by a Valentine's cake that they helped me make earlier.

 Here are some pictures from their school Valentine's parties earlier in the week…

I always have fun planning Zane's parties.  I have a friend who helps me - it's always good to see the kids enjoying all of the ideas we find...

 Emmy's party was so cute.  She spent so much time doing each craft perfectly.  She's so artistic lately.  She was also so excited to give all her Valentine's that she had worked so hard on.
