A great day

I did a lot of planning and prepping for Valentines day this year, but I have to say it was a wonderful day! It is a lot of work having 5 Valentines! We started out the day with a 2-hour delay from school, which was perfect because it gave the kids a little time to enjoy their breakfast and gifts. I made them heart shaped pancakes.....
and they got plenty of candy to do them for awhile!


 
The kids made Brandon's gifts. They each did 10 Things I love about you and made little books. It was really neat to hear the reason's that they come up with! It is truly the simple things that make them love him, playing Lego's and soccer, helping them with homework, cooking good food and letting them help chop up wood! So simple, but it means so much to them :)  A true example of what a great man he is in our world!

I didn't get a picture of the finished books, but they each had 10 playing cards that they wrote all the reasons that they loved him on. Then we punched a whole in the top and tied them with a ribbon!


To top off the day I made a Valentine dinner of Baked Ziti and homemade Strawberry Shortcake (ahhmazing). I pulled out all of my cooking skills for the year, so I hope that they enjoyed <3
