Happy Valentine's Day

We started out Valentine's day by having some friends over (I swap babysitting with a friend so we can volunteer in our kids' classrooms.). I didn't pose them for this picture (above) they all just climbed up on the chair together and sat there looking cute, while I ran and got the camera. James is sitting with Luke and Kate. He loves it when they come over and when he gets to go to their house. He gets really excited and will say, "Kate, Kate" over and over again.

These are a few pictures of Tori's class Valentine's party. The kids that Tori sits with at her table starting with her and going clockwise: Tori, Parker, Payton, Abby, McKenzie and Jack. Below Tori is enjoying all the treats that were brought in for snack.

Above, James is watching all the kids at the party after having his treat. All the little girls in Tori's class love playing with him when we visit her class for parties.

We had a few friends over to exchange Valentines (at Tori's request) after school. Tori is a sucker for holidays and loves any excuse to have a party. Here are Tori and James filling bags with friends.

Valentine's Day

Three is a great age for holidays! Tori had so much fun with Valentine's Day this year. She loved coloring all her valentines, and decorating her box at Anne, Megan & Rigg's Valentine's day party. She got so into handing them out and receiving them and talked about it for days. She loves anything involving crayons, glue, paint, scissors, etc. - so Tori really enjoyed Valentine's Day. Below is a picture of us putting valentines in Tori's friend's boxes.

Below is just a picture of Tori 'sledding' (being pulled around the yard in the sled by mom) with friends that one of my friends took and I thought was cute. They sure look like they are having fun, but I can't wait for winter to be over. Tori has been asking a lot lately when Spring is going to come and when will she get to see flowers.

Happy Valentine's Day

Tori had a very happy Valentine's Day. We went to a little party with some of her friends where they made (with some help from their moms) some boxes to put their valentines in and then they passed out valentines to each other. They also made the candy necklace you can see Tori wearing (which didn't last too long after the party since she wanted to get to that candy). We had a ton of fun.

The best part of Valentine's day, though, was when she greeted her dad at the door when he came home from work with a valentine for him and said, "Lub you, Dada". Needless to say he thought it was the cutest thing in the world.
