Love is in the air....

This last week we celebrated Valentine's Day! Doesn't it seem even the smallest holidays are better with little ones?! I find myself trying to make everything heart shaped and have been dressing Ella in red and pink all week. She is at such a fun age and seems to get excited about every little thing, so fun. :) Well the fun started on Friday when Ella had her school party. I was lucky enough to be able to leave work for a bit to join the fun. They passed out Valentines to their classmates, ate a plateful of snacks, read stories and played. Ella seemed pretty happy to have me there, as did her friends. This year Ella didn't seem to into passing out her Valentines (I pretty much did it for her), but she did REALLY enjoy looking through her treat bag at all the cards and gifts she received.
When we got home from school I let her eat some more of her treats, probably too many...but hey it's a special day, right?! Friday night Craig did the tile in the basement and now we are ready for carpet, yea! Ella and I watched the opening ceremony of the winter olympic games. On Saturday we met Grandma Boris and took Ella to Build A Bear. She liked picking out a purple bear, shirt, shoes, and a purse.

After that we went out to dinner at Applebees. When we got home Craig and I gave Ella her Valentine's gifts from us. I didn't go overboard (I swear), I just got her some candy, a paint set, some bracelets, and some Dora accessories (necklace, bracelet, and hairbrush), she also got a princess, heart shaped pillow and clothing from Grandma Eldred. On Sunday I made heart shaped pancakes for breakfast. All in all a fun week :)
