Valentine's Day 2011

We had such a nice day today with just enough little extras to make the day special.  When the kiddos woke up there was a balloon and a little 3-piece box of chocolates waiting for each of them.  Balloons are always such a big deal around here and everyone, including JP was excited.  I made cinnamon rolls as a breakfast treat.  I thought I was doing good to just have a little chocolate in the house & then Joe surprised me with a huge box!  Hopefully he'll help me eat some!

We had a nice dinner and then a special fruit pizza for dessert.  We finished off the day reading one of JP's old books- "If You Were My Valentine".  He's a pretty sentimental kid and when I told him I was getting ready to read it to the trio, he got in on the action too.  Here's some pics throughout our day of all my little Valentine's! (I missed taking a pic of my Big Valentine!)

Valentine's Treats:

JP eating his special breakfast before school:

I was impressed I got Ryan to wear a red shirt!  He usually tries to veto anything that doesn't have a police car on it!

Maddi, Mom won't mind if we draw on our chocolates, its kind of like paper.

Going for a ride with our balloons:

So cute!

 Did I mention how much these kids love balloons?

 I don't even know what to say about this picture- it just cracks me up! Oh- and it was in the 60's today, normally I wouldn't let my kids go barefoot outside in February!

Finally!  We got JP to be in some pictures too!

...and of course his pal Spencer!

Our Valentine's Dessert:

Reading to (almost all) my Valentines!
