Valentine's Day Celebrations!

It seems like Christmas was just yesterday and here we are and it's Valentine's Day already!  Sienna and Colton have been very excited about Valentine's Day because they get to have a party at school and give all of their friends valentines!  So, to kick off this loving holiday, we took Sienna and Colton to meet one of their favorite characters, Elmo.  He was making an appearance at a small toy store and we just had to go and meet him!  They loved getting to meet and hug Elmo, so phase 1 of our valentine's day celebration was a success!  Phase II, of course, was their school party and valentine exchange.  They got lots of yummy treats and they each got to give their friends the valentines they had made.  And last, but not least, was the Daddy/Daughter dance that took place at Lifetime the weekend after Valentine's Day.  Sienna and her Daddy went last year as well and she absolutely LOVED it!  So, when she started seeing the signs up for this year's dance, she got so excited!  She couldn't wait to pick out a dress, get her hair done (by me of course), and even put on the tiniest bit of make-up (clear lip gloss and a little blush).  Boy, are we in trouble when she becomes a teenager!  Anyhow, while Sienna and her Daddy were dancing the night away, Colton and I decided to go on a date of our own.  We headed over to Kerbey Lane for some delicious pancakes!  And how did Mommy and Daddy spend Valentine's Day, you ask?  Well, we cooked a nice dinner at home and included the other two loves of our lives!

Taking a picture with Elmo!

The valentines that Sienna put together.

I had to take a picture of the back b/c Sienna wrote all of the names by herself!

The valentines Colton helped make!

"I had such a fun day!"

Showing me the gift she made for us!  Such a cute idea!

She also had a valentine to give me that she made in class.

We decided to play on the playground for a little while and Colton was showing me the balls.

"I can't hang on much longer!"

The sun was literally right behind Sienna!
