Valentine's Day!

We hope you all had a
fabulous Valentine's Day!

We had a fun time getting ready for Valentine's Day around here. Katelee was so excited for her first school Valentine's Day party. She worked very hard on her class valentines. She was very proud of how they turned out.
We found this idea online, and loved it. We found the bouncy balls at PartyCity for 25 cents each, and found the printable coupon for a free game of bowling online to print, so these were really inexpensive to make. And I love that they were sugar-free! :)Also, we decided to paint Katelee's fingernails in a Valentine's theme the night before Valentine's Day. She loved it!
We don't do tons for Valentine's Day, but we always give each other little inexpensive gifts and we usually make a special dinner. This year we gave Katelee some pink body wash and a little pink bath scrubby and this silly balloon bug with candy.Valentine's Day morning, Katelee woke up sick with a fever! Poor thing! We gave her our gift, and she smiled lethargically.
Then we let her open her package from grandma, and she sat up and said, "Oh, yeah! Now I'm getting the good stuff!" We laughed our heads off!
Katelee had to stay home and miss her school party, but we cuddled and watched shows and by the evening she was feeling much better.

For dinner, we had spaghetti, garlic bread and peas, and I made chocolate-covered strawberries for dessert, which we all LOVED.
We ended the night by playing a round of CandyLand. Katelee put this gift bag on Gerald's head, which he wore while he played. Ha ha!
Today Katelee is feeling much better, and we made her little owl cupcakes to take to school and share.
So, our day was good. We love all of you!
Happy Valentine's Day!
