Happy Family: Valentines Day 2014

Alissa made this Valentine for Mommy and Daddy at Preschool this week. Once it was done, she folded it up like an envelope and told us we couldn't open it until Valentines Day. Isn't it cute?

Alissa's playgroup was at our house today so we decided to have a valentines party. We made valentines, decorated boxes, frosted cupcakes, and exchanged valentines. I forgot to take pictures of the kids working on these projects, but they had a blast.

These are the leftover cupcakes that mommy frosted

Mommy woke up this morning and found these flowers sitting on the counter for her. Daddy had purchased them earlier in the week and hid them from mommy. Alissa knew about it for three days and successfully kept this secret. What a nice surprise for mommy.

Mommy and Daddy purchased this cute valentine book and stickers for Alissa for Valentines Day. She was excited to have a new bedtime story.

Then, Alissa and mommy purchased this Dr. Who T-Shirt and Sonic Screwdriver for daddy for Valentines day. We also made daddy a Ribeye Steak Dinner with Asparagus and noodles. Unfortunately, daddy came home from work sick. He still enjoyed his delicious dinner, but then went to bed for the rest of the evening and night. He had a temperature of 101, but managed to keep down his dinner. However, he looked awful so we didn't take pictures of daddy with his present and dinner.

Alissa had so much fun frosting cupcakes at her party on Friday, that we made some more on Sunday to take to Grandma and Grandpa S. We already delivered some cupcakes to Alissa's Gymnastics class on Friday. We also delivered cupcakes to Grandma and Grandpa D. and Alissa's cousins Heber, Rose, and Mako on Valentines Day. Our day was so busy and we ran out of cupcakes so we were unable to take some to Grandma and Grandpa S. until Sunday.

Both sets of grandparents had valentines gifts for Alissa that she didn't receive until Sunday, February 16, 2014. Here is a picture of Alissa with both sets of grandparents.
