Valentines Day


We celebrated Blakely's first Valentines day while we were in Arkansas, it was a blast! We had a valentines party complete with red velvet cupcakes the boys decorated & Cherry Sprite in fancy cups. The day before Valentines, I let the boys go into the Dollar Store with me and I let them pick out whatever they wanted to give to their mom and dad for valentines day. It was funny to see what they picked (and inexpensive). They leaned towards candles and flowers for their mom and toys they wanted for themselves for their dad.
Here is a picture of Tia Ju Ju with her loot. I especially love the Strawberry plant in the bottom left corner. That was given to her by Garrett, the youngest.
My absolute favorite gift was the BLING BLING necklace Brian got. It cracks me up! (Blakely made her way into their family photo)

Milo got Blakely a locket for her first Valentines day. I am glad he got her something she can keep for the rest of her life... and this will have a special meaning. He wanted to get her ears pierced for Vday, but she is still too young according to all the things we have read on the internet.


Blakely gave me a picture frame with her footprint in it. I love it!! Thanks mom and Tia Ju Ju for helping her make it. :)

Thanks Camie & Bethany for the cute Valentines Bow!! :)

Blakely is so stinkin' cute. Her big bows remind me of someone... oh yeah... AVA JANE HARRIS!

I love her. Is it just me or is she extra tiny? I think it might be because my daughter is gigantic for her age.

Best wishes -
