Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentine's day this year. We started our day with our usual errands, we checked our mail on our way out and Lane and Marlee got some Valentine stickers in the mail from Grammy and Grampy. I let them have them in the car and by the time we made it to our first stop they were both covered in stickers!
When we got home from our errands Lane and Marlee's friend Bella from across the street came over to bring Lane his Valentine, a box of chocolates and a heart she colored. Lane left us at the door and ran into the kitchen. I went to check on him after a couple of minutes and he had devoured his box of candy!
So, as any good Mom would do, I continued the load the kids up on sugar. We made chocolate chip cookies to have for dessert after dinner. Marlee wants to do anything and everything Lane does. Lane loves to help me measure and mix so Marlee does too! I think she may even be a little neater when she helps me measure and pour.This is what they were both waiting for. Delicious cookie dough! After our baking fun I put the kids down for their naps, while they slept I got everything ready for our Valentine's family dinner. When Lane and Marlee woke up Marlee spoted the balloons on both of their plates in the dining room right away.
But before she could enjoy them Clint took the kids to deliver some of the cookies we made to our neighbors.Love these little cuties!And finally it was time for our Valentines party! Dessert! I made chocolate covered ice cream cookies. Lane and Marlee loved them!
