"There is nothing so sweet - not flowers, not chocolate, not a thoughtful card - as the love of a small child that can be held in the heart on Valentine's Day and on every day thereafter."
-Crystal Dawn Perry
This Valentine's Day was a lot more exciting than a romantic date with my husband at a fancy restaurant (don't get me wrong, though! I would totally enjoy a romantic date with my husband at a fancy restaurant!)...
This year we had a "red" themed smorgasbord for dinner at home with the kids!
...raviolis, scrambled eggs (pink), raspberries, pomegranate seeds, red peppers, strawberry applesauce, and a V8 smoothie to drink!
Mason loooved the pink scrambled eggs and being silly, asked what he was eating before each bite.
This kids did some valentine crafts with each of their grandma's this week, I had fun helping Makayla fill out her valentines for her classmates, and Mason feels special when Makayla shares her candy hearts with him.
Oooh, the joy kids bring on Valentine's Day!...and other special days, like BIRTHDAYS!
We've had many birthdays to celebrate these past few weeks!
Aunt Nina turned 25!!

Aunt Nina turned 25!!
We went bowling and had a slumber party at Aunt Nina's house.
*While visiting Aunt Nina, we went to a popcorn shop that had close to 70 different flavors of popcorn. Makayla picked a bag of kettle corn and Mason picked a bag of macaroni and cheese. Macaroni and Cheese popcorn? Gag! Grandma and Grandpa picked some popcorn up for us, too - cheese and caramel, strawberry and banana, blueberry and orange...

Brennan turned 3!!
The day after Aunt Nina's birthday celebration, we headed to Brennan's house for his 3rd birthday party! Mason loved Brennan's Caillou birthday cake and Makayla loved playing with Tyler! I love the fact that the kids hardly see each other, but when they do, it's as if they're best of friends that see each other every day. They love seeing each other and playing with each other!
*I think it's really cute that Mason calls Tyler "tylerbrennan" and he calls Brennan "tylerbrennan". When ever he sees one or the other, in person or pictures, he always says "tylerbrennan!!".

Grandma McWilliams turned 80!!
We had a surprise party for Grandma Mac to celebrate her 80th birthday...and she was surprised and so very happy to have most of her friends and most of her family come together to wish her a happy birthday!
Here is a picture of Great Grandma with most of her kids, grand kids, and great grand kids. We're missing a few due to illness or living in New York.
Grandma Mac has a lot to be proud of!
Jersey turned 6!!
Normally, for Jersey's birthday, we go roller skating...but this year, we went bowling! (Mason's heaven!)
Mason loved bowling and Makayla loved hanging out with the "older" girls! The cake was delicious and the goody bags were a *big* hit with the kids!
Valentine's Day and 4 Birthday Parties - all within a month!
We've been busy bees...having fun and celebrating!
