Lot's of Celebrating!

Saturday we started the day with a little Valentine's surprise. Ayla and I had made a cute little valentine box out of an ice cream bucket a couple days earlier. So Saturday morning I told her and Tayvie to go check their mailbox. Ayla opened it and pulled out these little heart ornaments (I bought these last year for my Young Women Personal Progress and had a few left over). Ayla was honestly stunned! She kept saying "I CAN NOT believe this!" She asked me what store I bought them at, and why I gave them to them, then she went upstairs and came back with some ribbon so they could wear them around their necks. Tayvie was pretty interested in hers too. Then we sang "Happy Birthday" to Tayvie a couple times and got in the car. Tayvie got to ride in a forward-facing carseat for the first time and you can see that she LOVED it! She was so excited, pointing to everything out the window and squealing!We drove down to Cabela's just like we did for Ayla's first birthday. It's funny cause I'm really not much of a fan of dead stuffed animals (sorry all you big tough manly hunters out there who read my blog), but we think it's fun to take them to see the fish and it's an easy way for them to see animals up close, like the bears, and they both have enjoyed it! Just look at the Tayve's face in these! She was having a BLAST!
On our way home we stopped at RC Willey's for some free hotdogs and drinks for lunch and then we went to the dollar store and bought the girls each a heart balloon, cause balloons always make things special.
When we got home Grandpa & Grandma Goddard dropped by with some yummy Valentine cookies. And then we went over to the church to decorate for the Valentine Ball that night.

Sunday we celebrated at Grandpa & Grandma Cole's house. Great Grandma Cole & Great Grandma Haun came and all the Aunts & Uncles and Cousin Litia. Tayvie had so much fun opening presents! She did good unwrapping and LOVED every single thing she got! She wanted to play with each thing and was mad when I would take it a way so she could open the next.

And on to the cake...

Monday night we had Grandpa & Grandma Goddard & Auntie Traci over for cake and icecream. Tayvie LOVED every present again! And when it came to cake time she dug right in at both parties! She was covered in pink and red like a true little Valentine!
