Somehow another year has passed us by and here we are again at Valentine's Day! My two little valentines are growing up so quickly, and it's hard to believe that next year this yearly picture I take will also include a third little cutie (who will already be 8 months old come V-Day 2012). How time flies when you have some cuties like these guys keeping you busy!
Can you believe how much they have grown in a year? Below is our 2010 Valentine's Day picture. I am almost more shocked at how much older Katelynn is than I am Justin.
Over the weekend, we were very busy getting ready for Valentine's Day. We had 13 Valentine's Day cards to make for Katelynn's classmates and two teacher gifts (which of course we had to make too- anything for some crafting excuses!). We started off by making some cute heart suckers for Katelynn to share in her V-Day cards. They are made out of left-over mini candycanes from Christmas clearance and candy melts and sprinkles. The kids had a ball using the sprinkles! (Sprinkle pictures were from my cell phone so they aren't great.)
Next we painted pots for Katelynn's teacher's gifts. (Justin just painted an extra one for fun and K did both the teacher gifts.)
Justin was quite a mess afterwards. Thank goodness he had his smock and his fireman rain boots! I guess it's hard to see in this picture, but he even had some on his forehead.
This was our finished product for Katelynn's teachers.
And this was her finished products for the valentine's cards and suckers. She cut all the hearts by herself (28 total), wrote each child's name on each envelope, and signed her name inside each card. I was proud of her for all her hardwork!
Katelynn got home today from her preschool party with lots of treats and cards. We had fun going through each of them and reading the cards from all her friends.
.. and this was our surprise that Katelynn brought home from school that she made just for us!
Other than K's V-Day party, we had a pretty normal day around here. We did give the kids one little gift (a small toy that I have had on hand from the Target toy clearance), and the kids and I played outdoors all afternoon since we had some great weather this afternoon in the 60's.
We hope all our friends and family had a great Valentine's Day too! <3
