A few weeks before Valentine's Day, Ava and I spruced up our entryway by hanging hearts on the centerpiece.
Each heart contains the name of a special family member, friend, pet, stuffed animal, or Biblical character that our family loves.
The day before Valentine's Day, Ava and I spent the morning baking and decorating heart shaped sugar cookies. Just like when we decorated Christmas cookies, I stripped Ava down to her diaper, threw a beach towel on the floor, and let her decorate the cookies to her heart's content. And in case you're wondering... Yes, Ava is using a paintbrush (a clean and unused one, I might add) to decorate the cookies.
Ava also covered the cookies with decorative sprinkles.
Our finished product...
Then, this morning, we visited all of the great-grandparents and brought them a plate of Ava's special sugar cookie creations. First up was Gammy (Matt's paternal grandmother).
On the car ride over to Gammy's, all Ava could talk about was the basket of toys Gammy has stashed beside her couch. You better believe Ava found said basket within seconds of walking through the door.
Up next, Mema & Deda (Matt's maternal grandparents). Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of Ava playing at their house, but trust me, she did. Let's just say Ava thought the arm of their couch was a piece of playground equipment and that their treadmill was a crib for her baby doll.
Happy Valentine's Day to all! We are so thankful and blessed by our wonderful family and friends!
