Valentines and # 5

As hard as it is to believe this little cutie has just turned 5 years old. She had her first friend birthday party at the Rec Center. (I thought I was done giving birthday parties after Annie's surprise sweet sixteen. But with granddaughters living in the home I guess I'm starting over.)Below is Eliza with her birthday cupcakes. Below are Eliza with some of her friends from preschool and church.

After pizza and cupcakes, and opening presents it was time to swim! Everyone had such a good time we couldn't get them out of the pool when it was time to go home.

Below and above are two of Eliza's cousins.

Here's the birthday girl.

April with one of Eliza's little sisters.

On Eliza's real birthday we had a little family party for her. Fun fun.

At Preschool they celebrated her birthday too!

Last Sunday all the family came to celebrate Eliza's birthday.

Happy birthday Eliza we all wish you a happy year!

Eliza had fun at her preschool Valentines party.

Brianna had fun at hers too. One of the things she made were the awesome heart glasses she is wearing.

On Valentines Annie surprised us all with yummy heart shaped sugar cookies from Normandy. They were delicious! Thanks Annie!

My sweetheart took all the girls at our house to an early dinner. When we got home we found six single roses three red and three pink leading up to our front porch where a big bouquet of flowers were waiting. At first we thought they were from Kim...

but it turned out they were from Alyse's boyfriend. He gave a single rose to all the girls and the bouquet was for Alyse.

Alyse and Annie's visiting teacher came by and brought them both a sweet treat of chocolate covered strawberries with a fun dipping sauce. They shared and it was yummy!

I dropped by to give out valentines to all my grandchildren.

When I gave cute Warren his for him and his little brother who was sleeping, he wanted to give me a valentine too. He looked in his bag from preschool and gave me a colorful pencil. I thought that was so cute of him!

These two below had had fun Valentine parties at school and were happy to get another Valentine from there grandma.

Even teenagers like getting Valentines.

We all liked getting Valentines!

Below is April and her little girls with the sock monkeys she got them.

Happy Valentines everyone!
