Valentine's Day (ahem Week)
This past week we enjoyed celebrating Valentine's Day throughout the entire week! Monday, daddy and Alexander made cute and fun heart animals to give to his secret valentine and teacher at preschool. Tuesday, mommy and Alexander made strawberry cake-pops, which daddy and mommy later decorated, to share with friends. Wednesday, Alex signed his V-day cards for school (with mommy & daddy's help). Mommy also received a special Valentine via "speedy delivery speedy delivery" (mail) from her favorite lil valentine. (Thank you preschool!) Thursday - Valentine's Day - was also daddy's first work day at the preschool! He had the best time with Alex and all the kids helping to make the Tunnel of Love. Alexander loved having daddy there all day, crawling through the tunnel and getting hugs. He also enjoyed his special V-day lunch from his secret Valentine and opening his V-day cards! Afterwards we had fun at the park with our Mom's Club V-Day party. Mommy surprised the boys and made reservations at a restaurant where Alexander behaved like a true gentlemen and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner together.
corn on the cob?
yes please!
Busy Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend
We are so incredibly thankful for the gift of Alexander, who brings us joy and laughter everyday and makes us want to strive to be better (parents, spouses, persons). We are also thankful for the wonderfully supportive and loving family and friends we have. Here are a couple of captured memories from this past weekend. The Wednesday night before Thanksgiving we went to Disneyland, the. Thanksgiving AM, Daddy and AAA baked an apple pie, and Friday he helped Daddy string the outside lights. Saturday we went looking for (and found!!) a tree and finished decorating the house. Sunday we celebrated Alexander's 3rd birthday! (That's a different post.)
