Happy Valentine's Day

We spent Valentine's Weekend at Andy & Lindsey's house and we had a great time!

Here's Sadie opening her Valentine present. She loved the little purse and filled up with her books for the rest of the weekend. (She was also a big fan of the candy--including tictacs, introduced to her by Aunt NeeNee & Jaren.)

Here's Sadie wearing Aunt Lindsey's pink shoes...

Lindsey and I made pink heart sharped pancakes and pink scrambled eggs for breakfast!

Here's Sadie with her first very own Starbucks drink--hot chocolate! (Which was actually almost cold--I guess that's okay for a kid's drink...) She kept calling it hot chocolate milk. She also kept pointing at the Starbucks logo asking "What's that?" I think she'll remember!

On Valentine Day we went to a surprise party for Marc's Grandma Gorsch. It was put together by her neighbors for her 96th birthday. It was at a little IA country restaurant. We actually got to meet some distant relatives that we haven't got to meet before... We spent over two hours there and it was perfect b/c we had a big back room all to ourselves so Sadie could have some space to run. She did really well considering the late night Friday and the amount of time we spent there. Her favorite thing was playing Hide-and-Seek with Uncle Andy. She always got to be the counter and she would get the hugest smile on her face whenever she would find him! This turned out to be the perfect way to spend our Valentine afternoon!

Here's Great-Grandma DePauw holding Kinnick for the first time!

Here's the birthday girl herself! Great-Grandma Gorsch with Sadie. (I don't know who's more mischievous!)

Grandma Gorsch with Kinnick. For Valentine's she got the kids some books and recorded herself reading them on a C.D.--the kids have enjoyed them!

Mommy's Valentine! (My other Valentine wouldn't pose for a picture!)

Could he be any more adorable? I don't think so, but I guess I'm partial...

Sadie enjoyed this sucker four times before it went in the trashcan!

We had planned to make a big Valentine dinner but after our big lunch and a shopping trip we didn't feel up to it. Lindsey and I went to see "Confessions of a Shopaholic" while the boys so kindly kept the kids! (Andy even had them both by himself while Marc went for pizza!)

We had our "Valentine" dinner on Sunday--we made fettuccine alfredo and roasted broccoli and picked up bread sticks and salad dressing from Olive Garden--it was perfect. (Sade even took two naps on Sunday before we left for home!) I had such a great weekend--I wouldn't change anything about it!
