Valentine's Day

 Riley got to celebrate Valentine's Day a few times this year and we had a lot of fun making goodies and going to parties!

Our first party was with a playgroup from church and it was at a cupcake store!

We made butterfly treats for all her friends (thanks Pinterest) and she drew on all of them and wrote her name!  I love how she's wearing her Christmas jammies all year round :)

She got dressed all cute and we put all her goodies in a basket so she could hand them out to all of her friends!

 The finished product...we had to take so many that I ended up having to write her name on the last of them...she was so over it!

 The party was chaotic, crazy, and fun!  We had the whole store to ourselves and the owner ran a special so I got a big cupcake and coffee and Riley got a mini cupcake...it was just right!

30 kids eating cupcakes and running around was the crazy and chaotic part!  Somehow Cherish was able to get them all to calm down, sit in a circle, and hand out Valentine's to each other!

 Riley's bag with all of her loot!

 Sweet Tessa...who had no idea what was going on but just sat there and looked cute!

When February 14th rolled around Riley got to have a party at school and take more treats for her friends.  This time we made little make Peeps s'mores packages...each bag had a graham cracker, a mini chocolate bar, and one peep...the perfect s'more!  Again..thanks Pinterest!

 Unfortunately this particular week things sort of went crazy for Jason at work and on Valentine's Day he had to work all day, come home a bit early, and then switch to working the night shift that night so it was not exactly ideal...but we made the best of it!

He came home in the afternoon and brought us girls some goodies and we surprised Riley with her treats from us! She got a Strawberry Shortcake video, a fun cup, a new leotard, and a pick for her guitar...and of course balloons and chocolate too!

 Here she is so surprised!

 I sure love these two!

 After all the fun Jason had to go to bed and get some sleep before he went back into work.  I didn't feel like cooking so the girls and I went to Chick-Fil-A and got dinner...we made it a fun night!
