Valentine's Day 2019

It was a fun Valentine's Day.  I was a little sad that Em's class didn't have a party for me to join in on but it was great getting to spend B's full party with her.  I soak up every second of these because I know that one of these days I am going to miss having these so very much!

These little cuties definitely have my heart!

Em's Valentine box vending machine turned out SO cute!

Sister sleepover to top of Valentine's Day!

Surprise!!

 For Emerson's birthday, she wanted me to surprise her with a "big girl" room makeover.  I was shocked because she has always been completely against change when it came to her room but she decided that at 10, it was time to get rid of the frilly pinks and purples and have a room that fit more of her current likes.  I had so much fun doing it for her.  It took quite a while and she wasn't allowed to see anything other than getting to pick her paint color.  She has been moved into the guest bedroom anxiously awaiting seeing the finished product.  Since she is having a sleepover with Sofia to celebrate this weekend, we decided to have the big reveal a little early so that she could have a couple of nights in the new room before showing it off to Sofia.  I could not wait to see her reaction...it was PRICELESS!!  Braelyn couldn't wait to give her a gift too so it was a fun early birthday celebration!

Room reno officially underway!

So long pink...hello blue!

She picked such a pretty shade of blue.  Very relaxing.

She wanted to swap to the daybed so that she had more floor space to hang out and play.

Getting closer!

She was blown away!

I love that reaction!

I love how excited B was for her!  She got her the rubberband bracelet kit she has been wanting.

Braces OFF!

 Emerson's one request throughout having her braces was that she could get them off before her birthday.  The orthodontist said that wouldn't be a problem so today was the big day!  We couldn't wait to see that pretty smile again!

Beautiful girl!

Of course you have to have ice cream to celebrate!

Braelyn's 2nd Grade Program

 I love the kids' school programs!  It drives me crazy that I can't see their every move perfectly because Snyder has such amazing parent involvement that it is absolutely packed every time, but the parts I can see, I love every second of seeing their sweet faces!  B did great as a cute little crayon!

She got to be by her BFF Brooklyn

I could eat her up!

She got to be her favorite color!

She was beyond excited about getting to play the xylophone!

She did so good!

Lots of Love

 We are so blessed to have such great friends that we like to celebrate holidays with.  The Collins invited us over to spread the love with some Valentine's Day fun.  Angie planned a fun craft and some cookie decorating for the kids to have fun making.  She was way more brave than I could ever be-she let them decorate with glitter!!!  She may find glitter for years to come!!

Her craft was perfect-they are all supposed to take a decorated box to school on Valentine's Day to collect all their goodies.

The sweet BFFs Em and Sofia

Braelyn and Camila

Cupcake decorating time!
