February 2012

We have a little Valentines tradition where every year we go to a hotel as a family and spend time together.  The past few years I have had to leave early due to ear infections, sad babies etc. so this year we tried something different.  I had the kids pick a name and they turned into secret Valentines where they tried to do nice things for one another or leave secret treats for them.  They had fun doing this for each other.  I did 14 days of Valentines for Scott and left him a treat or something with a note for 14 days.  It was a lot of fun.  Scott let me get a pedi (he may or may not have come with me).  We gave each of the kids $5 to spend at the dollar store where they picked out gifts for their Valentine and then gave to each other for Valentines day.  It was fun to see what they picked for each other.  They know each other pretty well.  :)  We also had a family night together where we played fun games and spent time with each other.  Hooray for a month that reminds us to Love.  :)




Macy and Brigham checking out their Valentine gifts

 Ashtyn and Haylee got spoiled too.

 Playing a Minute to Win It game.
 Cupid's Arrow game.  I rocked this game...Scott was sad I was better at it than he was.  ;)
At the end of the month Brigham got to bring home Benny Bear from Kindergarten.  He had so much fun.  He really loves Kindergarten and learning.  It is fun for him to finally get to be like his sisters.
