Claire had a party at school on Thursday and was so excited to make her valentines this year. Last year, we made them with a sticker Valentine kit and baked cookies. Since they were decorating cookies during her party this year, she selected some valentines that came with laffy taffy and we paired that with a little candy bracelet for each of her classmates. She had a ball putting them together. Her teachers always decorate the room really cute and she came home with some wonderful goodies!
Ready to go...
Claire and one of her teachers...
We went shopping one day this week so that Claire could pick out something for her sister and she loved doing that. She started out mostly picking things that were obviously too old for Ava (perfect for her!), but she eventually got the hang of it and found something perfect. She also earned a foam/bead jewelry kit recently and wanted to make bracelets for some of her friends outside of school, so we spent a little time doing that as well. I am so happy that she thinks of others and has a giving heart!
This morning, the girls each received a little treat for Valentine's day. Claire got a horse (that goes with a princess) and Ava got a little alligator toy that Claire selected just for her!
Claire does this occasionally with miniature sized things. She thinks she can fit on them! We came really close to a record for shortest time of possession before breaking a toy!
Later this morning, we went to brunch at my moms and went out to eat as a family for dinner tonight (no cooking for me - yay!). Chris and I were able to enjoy a date last night to celebrate thanks to Nana! It's been a great weekend so far! Tomorrow, we relax!
