We started the day with pancakes (something they rarely get because I'm not a big fan...).
Tristan chose a chocolate rose for his sister.
And Grace chose a box of chocolates with a rocket ship on it for him.
Then it was time for presents from Grandma and their little baskets from David and I.
Tristan had his Valentine's Day party at school and they had "fondue" for their snack. It looked delicious!
Trying to lick the spot of chocolate off of his face.
They all made bags for their valentines - Tristan made an airplane with "heart bombs" so when the pilot dropped the bombs everyone would fall in love. Really - that's the gist of what he said.
Grace had her Valentine party on Friday.
We found a bunch of Mom's old cake pans when we were cleaning out Dad's house, so I had her send them to me (to add to my growing collection), and in that box were heart shaped "muffin" pans.
Grace, of course, thought they were perfect - after all, they were pink, and were hearts - how could you go wrong with that??
Checking out their loot.
Snack time! You've never seen so many sugary treats! Surprisingly, several of the kids didn't finish everything because it was just too much sweet.
In that shipment of cake pans were several tiered heart shaped pans, so I used the smallest to make each of the kids a brownie heart for dessert. Needless to say we'll be having brownies for the next several days since I cut one in half and then thirds last night and it was more than enough to satisfy the sweet tooth.
I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day and were able to celebrate with your special someone. My special someone is half-way around the world, but I did at least get to talk to him, and I was fortunate enough to have our special blessings to celebrate with.
I love you and miss you very much David!
(and I'm looking forward to a Valentine's Day that we can ship the kids off and spend the day to ourselves! Any idea when you'll be home for a Valentine's Day? :) )
