Our Valentine's Day



Because Lydia's birthday is on the 14th, we usually celebrate valentine's day on the 13th. This year we started what I think will be a new tradition. The kids usually get a few valentine's gifts from grandparents and us. This year we did a scavenger hunt for them to find the gifts. Because Lydia can read this year we hid clues all over the house and they ended up finding there gifts in the garage. They went from room to room. One clue was "this is where Caleb sleeps" etc. We got each of them a pair of sunglasses and a small toy, Nana got them all rain boots and matching rain coats. And Gamma gave each of them a new game for the Wii. We had heart shaped pancakes for breakfast and pink grits. For dessert later that day we made heart shaped lollypop cookies that they each got to decorate. (yes even Grayson)!Next year I think we may try and make heart shaped pizza. We were going to do that this year but we ran out of time. I always try and fit way to many activities into one day.
