Celebrating Valentine's Day

When asked what the budget was for Valentine's gifts Andy said "$15". Ok, fun for me and the kids to be creative. On Friday we decorated cards with their little hands and feet prints and wrote on them "ten little fingers and ten little toes love you very much". I made him a card and wrote "love" things in it for him. We made some small lunches for the kids and headed off to the store. We picked up some balloons, a picture frame and bought homemade tamales. Great valentine's gifts, right?
I had talked with one of Any's friends before we headed to his work so he would let us in to surprise Andy. Well, I wrote his number down wrong and we ended up waiting over a half hour before I told the secretary to call Andy and say a package was waiting for him. Surprise, Happy Valentine's Day Daddy! It is better to get stuff at work then on Saturday so we celebrated it a day early.
Remember $15 was the budget. Well as we are walking upstairs at Andy's work he tells me that we are going to Cancun Mexico for a week... Happy Valentine's Day. My poor tamales are like well at least we fit the theme.

A very Surprised Daddy

We love our daddy!

We had a great time eating lunch with Daddy. Hey babe, Thanks for the trip I am so excited!


After Lunch we headed to my friend Tavi's house to decorate Valentine's cookies. She had homemade the sugar cookies and frosting. They were delicious! The kids had a blast eating and semi decorating. Then it was off to play. We had a great time and took home some great heart cookies. We can't wait to get together again.
