I Like it....I L-O-V-E it...

A tradition my mom always did with us that I vividly remember LOVING from my childhood was: Valentine Bags! Each Valentines Day we would wake up to a bag filled with silly "Oriental Trading type" trinkets such as: festive holiday pencils, erasers, stamps & stickers, hair accessories, Valentine attire, candy, etc. So this is something I've decided to carry on with my kiddos! We picked up these fun "Princess & The Frog" (not really-but my kids think so) Chocolate Frog, and new dinner sets for each of the kids. Bryce got a Disney Pirates plate & Batman cup. EmmaLee got a Scooby-Doo set.

My mom sent the kids her usual Valentine Bag too. Bryce got a Sheriff Woody shaped cereal bowl, Spiderman shaped Chocolates and ever so cute Gymboree chonies (spanish word we use when referring to underwear-his little toosh looks so cute in the "heart breaker" and "pirate" briefs! we couldn't stop laughing....he LOVES to be just like his big sister)

EmmaLee got a tin lunchbox type Disney Princess heart shaped purse filled with candy necklaces & bracelets as well as a pack of Gymboree Valentine heart panties (which she LOVED!)

Happy Valentines 2010! Hope your morning was full of hugs & smiles like ours was!P.S.-I hear that Grammie & Grandpa, and Grandma & Papa put stuff in the mail that haven't arrived yet...looks like Valentines will last longer into the week for these 2-how fun is that?
UPDATE: Grandparent packages arrived today and OOOOOH what fun! Grammie & Grandpa sent a Disney Tarzan 2 DVD (which they were oober excited about-we don't have any Tarzan movies!), Toy Story themed boxes of sweets for Brycey, and Tinkerbell chocolates & fruit snacks for Emee! Grandma & Papa sent cute cuddly new fleece blankets (pink monkeys & frogs for Em, and of course...pirates for Mr. B) as well as new jammies-which they put on INSTANTLY! These kids would LIVE in jammies if we allowed it :) Thanks for the fun festive goodies everyone! They are much appreciated.
