Valentine's weekend and Day!!!

We have had our house decorated for weeks with hearts!
Ella has been a Valentine crafting queen!
Thursday, Ella had her Valentine party at school. She wrote out all her Valentines and was decked out it pink, red, and hearts.
I braided her hair and she told me that I was 'really good' and I should open my own salon.
They made Valentine bags at school and Ella's was adorable. Her teacher even commented to me on how much she loved Ella's bag. It even had 'earrings'
Saturday was another soccer game and they played quite an 'aggressive' little bunch of gals.
Ella played great and scored 5 goals! Grammie, Papa, Aunt Renee, and Aunt Suz were all at the game and after each goal she would give a thumbs up and run over for a 'high-five'.....
Ella's really showed off her good footwork in this game.......
Logan marched around and ate candy from his aunts......
Ella in goal.....she saved a couple.
After her game, Auntie Suz and Auntie Renee took Ella out for lunch and to the mall to get a new build-a-bear. She was sad that all the love bugs were gone but got a cute brown bunny named 'giggles' and 2 princess outfits for her. Ella loved her 'spoiled' afternoon.
That night, Paul and I dropped the kiddos off with Aunt Renee and Uncle Kenny and headed out for dinner. We went to Firebird's Grill and it was YUMMY! The kids had a GREAT time and didn't want to go home!!!
Sunday morning, after eating some yummy doughnuts, it was time to make some Valentine treats. I had found a recipe for 'pink popcorn' and made a couple of batches.....It got the 'thumbs up' on the taste test!
And then on to big chocolate cupcakes!!!! SO GOOD!!!!!
Our neighbors came over to join us for steak and we spent the rest of the day enjoying the weather outside. The kids had a great time playing.....it was a great day.
After bathtime, the kids got their treats from mom and dad and the Valentine fairy.
Logan got a Yogi Bear playset and a Super Scooby stuffed toy.
Ella got a set of underwater pixos and a phineas and ferb ds game.....
Super sweet!
" No kisses EWWA!"
Logan loves his Yogi and 'moomoo'
Yesterday, we delivered some Valentine treats and the kids got to play with their cousin Sammie (a cute puppy).......then we picked up lunch and headed to Grammie and Papa's where some more Valentine surprises were waiting.....
We finished off the day with a heart shaped pizza and some more surprises from Nannie and Muntz! Oh, and Ella was happy because daddy brought her home some special flowers :0)
Happy Hearts Day Everyone!!!
