Cameron was so funny when he woke up this morning. He said, "mom I know what today is about...it's all about love." Then he kept telling Mackenzie that it was "love day" and kept quizzing her about "what day is it Mackenzie?" He had her repeat after him about 10 times, "today is all about love." We made pancakes in the shape of hearts of course, but Mackenzie wanted a butterfly one so we made her a butterfly :)
I signed up to help at Cameron's school class party. He was so excited and so was I. It was so fun to watch him interact with his friends and be so well behaved at school! He was hiding the heart for a game.
Cameron with some of his BFF's Tyson and Jayden. They decorated their Valentine bags at school and then everyone passed out their cards/candy right before leaving. I overheard Cameron "quizzing" his friends on what today was all about....he kept telling them it was "all about love and so you need to be nice".
This is what Cameron passed out. The tag says "Valentine, you are the milk to my cookie" and we made sugar cookies for the bag.
They had fun helping me make the cookies the night before. They got to decorate a few for themselves while I decorated the other ones. Kids decorating cookies is the BEST! you don't even see the cookie through all the icing and sprinkles....it was even more fun watching them eat them :)
Keeping the tradition alive! Growing up every year on Valentine's Day we would all go in our individual rooms (even my mom) and my dad would put a present outside our door and knock. Then we would all come out of our rooms and open our presents. It was just a special thing, and meant a lot to us girls. I thought it was a fun, different idea and something I would pass onto my kids,
They thought it was a fun idea and Cameron was super excited about the Pop the Pig game he got. Mackenzie couldn't wait to put on her Hello Kitty pajamas she opened.
Sadly, I don't remember what I made for dinner (it was only a few days ago!) But the most important part of dinner was the chocolate heart cake for dessert right?! Happy Love day!
Love Mackenzie's darling Valentine Outfit. How cute of Cameron to Say "today is all about LOVE" So glad to see his pre-school pictures and all the fun he is having. We are so glad you have kept up the old tradition of Valentines presents at the bedroom door. Boy, your Cake sure looks good. Great way to end the day of LOVE!
ReplyDeleteI had a great time watching Kenzie while you went to Cams class party. She's so much fun at this age. Too bad I didn't get to spend much time with Cameron.
ReplyDeleteThey are at the cutest ages ever!! I wish I could go back in time and have my kids be little again. Enjoy it while it lasts!!!
