I {heart} these guys - Valentine's Day 2011

By far, this was my favorite valentine's day  EVER!  Some highlights from Valentine weekend (when a lovely occasion falls on a Monday, we must start celebrating the Friday before, right?)

On Friday night Justin and I got to have a very nice dinner at a local Japanese steakhouse.  It must be true love because Justin does not typically do Japanese food but he loved it and couples at the table with us were so much fun and we had a great chef.
On Saturday, we got to visit with Tara and Peyton and Luke.  Cute cute kids!
We decided to go a bit 'custom' for Kate's valentine's cards for her classmates.  Her teacher asked that each student write their own name(35 times for each Kindergartner) and also write the names of the classmates.  There were only about 3 students out of 35 that did their own writing.....but Kate was one of them and her cards turned out fabulous!

Kate creating her cards..........

 Kate got matching PJ's for her and her doll Sally.....they are way too cute!
 I let Kate dress herself for Valentine's day....we didnt' know how the weather would be so I got her both long and short sleeved valentines shirt.  Luckily, the weather was beautiful and Kate was ready to get back into a skirt.  Monday was also Jump Rope for Heart, so she had to wear tennis shoes..if anyone can pair a fluffy skirt and tennis shoes and still look adorable, that would be my Kate!

This was the cutest valentine card that I found in Kate's stash...very cute idea!

Wesley was surprised on Saturday before Valentines day with his John Deere mule.  This was really going to be his 4th birthday present but it went on sale right after Christmas and we hated to see it sit in the box for 7 months so we decided to turn it into a Valentine's present.  Both kids LOVE it!  It goes very very fast and has a place in the back to haul all his rocks and dirt.

Vanessa surprised the kids with gifts...Wesley got a Tom and Jerry DVD.  He loves T&J!
 Vanessa gave Kate the new Silverlicious book.  We've already read it 2 times.  It is a cute story!
