365+1 Week 7

Holiday's and Parties and Birthdays oh my!!! As you will find in the following pictures, Valentine's Day pretty much consumed our week, but that is ok, it is a lovely holiday in my opinion!!

Photo's #43-49:

Sunday we set about with the addressing, signing and stuffing the envelopes for all our school friends. Abby was efficient as always, Eva loved being able to sign her name all by herself, and Olivia took ample time picking out just the right hearts with the perfect messages on them (no "I love you" to the boys, ewwww!!!)

Eva had her Valentine's party on Monday (no school on Tues.) and she made this darling box- she was SOOO proud to have written her full name all by herself!! That's a lot of letters for a little girl!!

I hope you all had a day full of love with your sweethearts!!

"12 in a row" These have been calling my name all day- it is decided that they MUST GO out of my house!! Holidays are difficult for the sugar deprived :)

Home work, everyday after school. It is NEVER a smiling affair at our house!! But endure they must before they get to play.

We drove to the snowing skies of Idaho this afternoon. A weekend get away at a hotel with a pool and seeing the falls by the temple. We had a great time together.

We were in Idaho to celebrate my Grandfather's 90th birthday!!! He is one of my most favorite people, so many stories to be told and so much love for his family. It was a surprise party pulled off to perfection and it was delightful and heartwarming to see the joy in his eyes when he discovered that so many had taken the time to celebrate this monumental Birthday with him. We love you Grandpa!!
