Valentines Day started out with a new little tradition. The kids went on a little valentines scavenger hunt to find their little gift and candy. I put it all in a little bag of their own to find. We did the hot cold thing for awhile until they finally found them in the playroom. Alayna was so excited I can't even tell you. Everything with this child is fun and exciting. She's bouncy happy about 90% of the time and mad as a hornet the other 10%. She dances and sings I swear all day long. All her little memorized nursury rhymes and such is what I hear. Either that or fall on the floor mad, but I prefer the other. So she finds her bag and all day long she carries it around singing happy valentines day and makes up the other words as she goes. "MOMMY, look at my valentines" Mommy this and MOMMY that and tra la la la la!!!!" "Mommy, thank you for the valentines!!" Bradley was excited, but not quite sure he's a recieving gifts sort of person. Kind of like his mommy. Maybe a little excited at first, but then it's off to something else. For breakfast we had our big breakfast and a new favorite...german pancakes with buttermilk sauce. They are so so yummy!!! We ended the day at Dave and Sue's house for their traditional valentines day party which is always a blast and filled with activities that we really aren't suppose to share so here's to leave you wondering. HA!! It's a kid free environment so we hired two sitters to come to our house to tackle all 5 big kids. We came back and they were alive so all went well. They were happy and well taken care of while we got some time to enjoy with just the adults. Everyone brought something Italian to eat and all was very yummy!

A new family first was having us all dressed up in the same color and red at that. WHOA!!! gotta love it cause not sure it will happen anytime soon again. And our first at home after baby picture of the whole family. AND everone is actually happy. It actually went well with bribes of fruit snacks and more chocolate. It started off in the house and then we ended up outside. We used the tripod....another first!!! The pictures were actually taken the day after valentines day since we didn't pull it off on valentines day.
Just for fun! Craig get a kick out of his fiesty little daughter when she's mad as a hornet. Good thing she waited until after pictures to crumble.

First of all, i know what kind of "valentines party" you adults have, i don't need to sit and wonder because i already know. HA!
I love all the pictures you have on here. BEAUTIFUL!!!! I think Alayna has the same shaped face as Taylee, a few pics reminded me of her. I can't wait to see Laura in person.
