Valentine's day was great this year and Makenna couldn't hardly wait for it -- it is so fun when your kids actually start getting excited about holiday's and understand them a little. We started out our morning by having heart shaped pancakes -- they were actually pink but you can't really tell after I cooked them, plus they are wheat. Hollis didn't really care about what shape they were, he just wanted to eat! In the afternoon Makenna and I made heart shaped sugar cookies together and she got to wear her new apron that Grandma Janie got her -- it looks so cute on her! After the cookies were made, Makenna took a long nap in her apron. Just a little side note story -- when Makenna opened this package from Grandma Janie she was thrilled to get this apron and Valentine marshmallows, but the best part was when she then pulled out Mr. Potatoe Head's butt that she had left in New Mexico at Christmas time. She wasn't sure what it was and just kind of looked at it funny and then she continues to pull out her pants that she left there as well and we got the same reaction. Then, she pulls out the pacifier that Hollis left there and says excitedly, "here Hollis, this is for you"! It was so fun to watch her pull the random things out of the package and try to act excited about each one. Later that afternoon Makenna had some girlfriends over and she got to have a real tea party -- one with girls who actually cared about the process! :) Makenna served them water, candied hearts, and her sugar cookies. Later that night Dustin surprised me with a great Valentine's gift -- apparently, Target sales pre-made "fry sauce"! He knows me all to well. :) Makenna and Hollis also received Valentine's package from Grandma Savik and Makenna's favorite part, no joke, was the princess card! She said, "oh, this is from my best friend"! She then took the card to church with her the next day and I told her she had to leave it in the car and then when we came home from church she brought it into the house and took her Sunday nap with her card in her arms -- too cute!
I also put a random picture of Hollis and Makenna on here just because I thought they were cute and needed to go on my blog somewhere. :)
