Our Snowy Valentine's!

On Friday, Evan had a special Valentine's party at his school. Mommy, of course, prepared his class Valentine's to hand out. She was a little disappointed that she didn't have time to do more than store bought Valentine's with suckers, but Evan had fun picking them out. He really wanted dinosaur Valentine's, but those could not be located so he settled for sports themed.


Here are a few pictures from his school fun:

The sweetest Valentine!


So Valentine's weekend started out with something very special...SNOW! As you can tell, we love snow. Of course, it helps that we don't get a ton of snow, and our snow storms are usually few and far between. This snow was 100% better than the last because it was so soft and fluffy! Perfect for snowman building and snow cream making! And if you Yanks or Westerners are not familiar with snow cream, you definitely don't know what you are missing! Yum-Yum! Google it!

Here are some pictures from our fun Valentine's adventures:

Starting to snow on Friday evening! It started to snow about 5:00 p.m., and by the time we went to dinner, it was already covering the ground and roads.


Photobucket
By the time we got home, our pot was full of snow so we made some snow cream!


Photobucket
Evan's first snow cream. So cold but so delicious!

Checking out the snow the next day.

"Cheeeeeeeese! The sun's in my eyes!"

He loved the soft snow!

A Snowman's Tale

Photobucket
The beginning


Photobucket

Evan got scared off by a small blizzard that blew snow into his face!

Photobucket

Evan helped Mommy dress his snowman like a cowboy. We didn't have any carrots so we borrowed Mr. Potatohead's nose and eyes.


Photobucket

Evan holds up the snowman with his shotgun and then runs him out of town!

Photobucket

I love this picture! My baby looks so grown up! (*sniff*)

Photobucket

Our family snowman!

Photobucket

So cute helping to keep Mr. Snowman's nose on!

Photobucket

Evan with Mr. Snowman after he had taken a beatin' from the rising temperatures and the high winds that kept blowing his head off! :o)

Photobucket

Yeah, he was a little sad!

Photobucket

On Sunday, Mommy made Evan this Panther's football player snowman on our back deck where there was still plenty of snow!

Daddy and Evan check out Mommy's masterpiece. Evan actually wasn't too thrilled with sharing his helmet!

A SNOWY VALENTINE'S

Photobucket

I used one of my roses as a way to memorialize our snowy Valentine's!

Photobucket

Me with my beautiful bouquet of yellow roses my sweetie brought me at work! Thank goodness he just went to Harris Teeter for these and didn't spend a small fortune for flowers 'cause I seriously would have hated that!!!

Photobucket

Mommy's little Valentine!

Photobucket

We did our Valentine's ritual with Evan earlier in the week because he couldn't wait. He was at the store with me when we bought all our Valentine stuff! ;o)

Photobucket

Sweet kisses for Mommy!

Photobucket

Reading his sweet card from Mommy...

Photobucket

and Daddy!

Photobucket

Lots of love for Daddy!

Photobucket

Now this is what he was waiting for!

Photobucket

A Nerf gun!

Photobucket

Evan got lots of Valentine goodies from Aunt 'Omi and Grandma who came to stay with him while Mommy and Daddy went on their date!

Photobucket

Mommy and Daddy are ready to go out!

Photobucket

But first, a little romance and PDA!

Photobucket

On Sunday night, we watched my niece and nephews while Uncle Paul and Aunt Jessica went out. We had to make them pose for a picture before they left!

Photobucket

Gotta love some PDA!

Photobucket

I love feeding this little guy! This, of course, is my youngest nephew, Reade, and he is such a great eater. He ate two whole jars of his organic baby food and then ate a piece of pizza crust too.


Photobucket
Aunt Sherry taught him to use a spoon and feed himself!


Photobucket
Apparently, Aunt Jessica thought the same way I did about Valentine's gifts, but she bought bubble guns for them instead of Nerf guns!

  1. Oh my gosh, Evan was so tiny! I'm so glad I clicked on newer post after reading your last post. This was a GEM. I love the picture of him where the "blizzard" blew up in his face. So wintery and lovely.
