Sweet Valentines

By -


We gave the kids each a little candy and made them valentines.

The real treat was breakfast at Chick-Fil-A and a chance to ride Skyview downtown. Sarah Graves had been longing to ride it and the timing hadn't been right, but we made special plans to do it as a fun outing. We had a few obstacles with unforeseen crowds downtown due to tryouts for the show, The Voice and surprising crowds out for breakfast on Valentine's day, but once we arrived, it was a great time! The day was gorgeous and it wasn't too cold.

Sarah Graves showed off her dance moves while we waited in a short line!

Charlie was a little nervous at first, but he quickly warmed up to the ride and the views.


Sarah Graves enjoyed listening to the audio guide point out some of the sights and was particularly interested in a roof that had a lot of dirt on it!

We celebrated Valentine's day at Lovie and Pops' house with Nay and Livy!

This cutie was ready to celebrate! She is growing so quick and looking all around her!
We made a yummy dinner that included steak with caramelized inions, Brie, and bacon. We also had grilled asparagus, mashed cauliflower and not pictured, fried shrimp!

I made these cherry almond cookies as a treat and Jesnne' made yummy chocolate covered strawberries! This meal was fabulous!

Aunt Nay spent time helping Sarah Graves with her loom bands.

The kiddos love to play at Lovie Pops!. The game this evening was pushing one another around pretending to be king and queen!

Frozen Party Details

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Sarah Graves loves baking, watching baking shows, and has lots of ideas about cake decorating. She wanted to decorate her cake herself and made it a team effort with Lovie.  She was very proud of the finished product and learned that piping icing isn't as easy as it looks! For her party, friends went ice skating then came back to our house for food and cake! This guy we referred to as "Cat Man" skated around with his cat and at time with hold the cat under its front legs just above the ice and let it sway as he skated! The cat did not seem to mind...it sure did catch our attention! Pierced ears mean fun earrings! Aunt Lexie definitely picked fun ones with these rubber chickens! So many people love this sweet girl and showed up to celebrate her!
