Making Valentine's Cards

To say Ava is a Daddy's girl is an understatement; she bonded with him immediately when we were in China, and they still share a very special bond.  The kids are making Valentine's Cards to give to Daddy.  Ava wanted photos for hers and she also wants to  add sprinkles!? (I think she means glitter).  Jake wants to draw and color his card for Daddy.   We're using the first two pics in Ava's card, and the third picture is just for fun.

Ava's nickname is Missy Mu Mu. Do you believe my little Ava is going to be 4 in April and her 2T leggings are too big. I love my little Missy Mu Mu. She's a whole lot of girl in a little, petite package.

What kinds of crafts do you do for Valentine's Day?

Oh my gosh - that outfit is SWEET! I love that second picture :) If I was a guessing woman, I"ll bet she never got through that lollipop!

Yes! Your Missy Mu Mu is a peanut! My girl is like 60% for height and springing right on out of her 4Ts :)

Crafts?! Are we supposed to do crafts for Valentines Day? Man. Well, my neighbor is having a V-Day inspired lunch for the girls in the hood 0 complete with cupcake making, etc - I am counting that as "mine" for the year!

too cute!!!! Love the pet name, all of ours have pet names and boy do they correct you if you call one by the other's pet name!

Our valentine's ... I hate to admit, but will revolve around a trip to Target. Sigh. I used to do the homemade thing and really need to get back to that!

Oh, I had to laugh about the sprinkles. Emma loves all things that sparkle and Rebecca is just now noticing that Emma's shirts have "sparkles" on them ... the other day she told me she wants shirts with "sprinklers" on them!

Well you know I've VERY partial to girls from Fuzhou, miss Grace and Missy Mu Mu have almost identical profiles and the very same noses! And Grace is a Daddy's girl too. Ava is a sweetheart and her Daddy will be so happy to get the Valentine from his special girl!

We're making Valentines this weekend.
