Valentine's Day

The day before Valentine's Day, Steph had a playdate at her house.  I only got 2 pictures from the day, but Ave loved spending some cousin time with Sophia.
 
Before the party started

After the party, we went to get some lunch and did a little shopping at Costco.  Anytime there are two seats in a shopping cart, Ave always tells me that Sophia belongs in the other seat.


Couldn't be more happy to be next to each other
 
The next morning, Ave woke up and found some Valentine goodies for her at breakfast.  I had really high hopes of making cute heart pancakes, but we seem to be very time restricted on school days so it just didn't happen.
 


They had a lot of fun activities at school, and that evening I made one of Bill's favorite meals followed by our tradition of chocolate fondue for dessert.  I don't know how it started but Valentines day is the one time a year that the fondue pot makes its appearance.  This year was Avery's first time to participate. 
 

1st try

I'm pretty sure she chose a marshmallow every time.  Of course, she wouldn't want to try any of the fruit that would provide some nutritional value.

I think it was a success!
Valentine's Day has never been a super exciting holiday but we had a lot of fun staying in.  I went to bed that night being so thankful for days like those and spending time with my little family!
