Valentine's Day

MUAH! Happy Valentine's Day from our girls!  We had fun making valentines this year and sharing them with family and friends.  Thank you to Pinterest for this year's valentine idea! 

We had a few variations of our valentines - Ella got to take valentine's for her preschool classmates for their party, but because there are so many kids with allergies in the class, we wanted to be safe and used whistles for the lips instead of chocolates.  Ella had way more fun with her whistle anyways :)...

Cody still gives me a hard time about how much it cost to send suckers through the mail with our valentines a few years ago, so we opted to send flat picture cards to some family members and friends.  I found these little cellophane bags that were fun to send through the mail...

The girls' pictures without lips...

Ella helped me make heart shaped sugar cookies earlier in the week - her favorite part was definitely licking the frosting off the spatula...

On actual Valentine's Day, we had little gifts for the girls to open in the morning...

Love my three valentines!

Heart shaped pink pancakes for breakfast...

And little baby pancakes for Lulu...

Ella has loved getting valentines from friends and family in the mail - her favorite thing to do is spread them all out and look at them again and again...

Roses from daddy for each of his girls...

I love how Lucy uses her pointer finger for everything...

Ella's sweet valentine she made for her daddy...

  Ella had to put on her Belle dress when we got home from dinner because she was given a rose just like the one in Beauty and the Beast.  She was so excited about getting her own rose and kept thanking Cody over and over.  So sweet! We finished off the night with Pinkabella cupcakes...
