Valentines Day

Holy Cow its been awhile since I blogged, and i have missed it. So much to catch up on, and we will..But i thought i would show you how we celebrated valentines day..albeit i do have to admit..i think this holiday is a little to "made up" for my taste, i think its important to take time to say "i love you" so we tend to make this a "i love my kids holiday" and celebrate our love for them this day :) Kris and i usually buy a card for each other and i always get flowers...but we use this day to talk about loving people, and the importance of it.

So when daddy arrived home from work with a 3 balloon bouquet the kids were so excited :)

I honestly don't know what Elijah was doing here..lol..pondering how much he loved his balloon maybe?!


Earlier in the day Julia and i made lasagna rolls (or "basanga" rolls as she calls them, and i have decided not to correct her grammar until she is 16)...mmmm...i think i may prefer them to lasagna, just in the fact is uses all the noodles in the lasagna box and it serves individual servings..she is such a good helper :)

  and we had small gifts for the each of them, and they loved it! Elijah kept saying "birthday cake"..he quite doesn't get the whole holiday idea yet ;) Julia was sad to see the day end..cause you know she "loves every one in the whole world" and honestly Titus was just happy to carry his balloon around and call it a "baboon" hehe..so cute!

          So we had a great V Day with our loves :) So happy we have holidays to remind us to celebrate the small things, like our family, and how much i love them!
