Sweet, smart, silly Lily FINALLY turned 2 1/2 years old in January. For some reason I feel this age needs a post. It feels like one of those milestone ages. I doubt I’ll write something up when she’s 3 1/2 or 12 1/2, though I remember how important 9 1/2 was. “and a half” is very important to the young. Anyway, I think because Lily is tall and pretty precocious, so many people assume she’s 3 and my typical response is “No, she’s not even 2 1/2 yet.”

I’m so glad January is over. February isn’t much better, as far as the weather goes, but at least it brings us Valentine’s Day. Admittedly this hasn’t ever been one of my favorite days but it’s a good excuse to have fun with hearts, candies, crafts and all things red and pink! Such warm colors no?
Reading: A Very Special Valentine and that may be it since it’s -2 today and going to the library with 3 babies doesn’t sound fun.
Watching/Singing: Red heart, Red heart, What do you see? I’m sorry but I LOVE Miss Tracy!
Activities: Heart Valentine coloring pages, tissue paper heart decorating, make heart sugar cookies, wearing heart shirt and sweater, helping Mama make some Valentine’s Day decorations for the house

I made these Valentine’s Day treats for a ladies meeting I went to this week. I thought they were so cute and were definitely very yummy!
These were so easy to make too. They took a little longer than I thought they would especially while trying to keep little hands away from the sprinkles and candies. If you have bigger kiddos though, these would be a lot of fun to make together! For the recipes I used look here and here.

A fun package arrived this week from our Grandmere! The girls went crazy when Phil pulled out these tutus and loved the scrapbook photo album my mama made of our trip to Texas this summer. We looked through it three times before I had to put it away, not only because the girls did begin to get rough with it, but because I started to get a little teary! Oh I miss home, and family, and friends and watermelon, and summer. Thanks for the good memories Grandmere!
