Happy Valentines!

I was totally spoiled for Valentines! Dan got me lots of surprises. He got me a new Willow Tree figurine. It is called "Promise" and it is so so adorable. It came with a beautiful frame that I can display with it. He also got me roses, chocolates, The Very Hungry Caterpillar board book and a very very nice card. I'm so grateful that I have a wonderful Valentine this year. I feel very lucky and very loved!


















This is a picture of my class today. (sorry it's fuzzy) I only had 10 kids because one of our buses wasn't running today and a couple kids were sick. So, we pushed our breakfast tables together and ate at one big table. The boy sitting next to me in the picture brought me a box of chocolates and he was so excited to give it to me. He had told me a couple days ago, "Teacher Holly, I go to sleep one more time and then I bring a surprise for you to school." (imagine it with a Russian accent) He was so cute and excited to give it to me. All day he kept saying, "I give you a heart." We don't make a huge deal our of Valentines Day at school but we talked about hearts, friendship and love. We've been writing letters to each other and I gave them all hearts and hugs before they went home.

Happy Birthday Danny Boy...the big 28

The Dan's and Dawson watched the Superbowl together. Every man's dream come true. Watching football with their little boy!! (or your nephew!)


































My wonderful attempt at a football cake! Every time I make a cake it sticks the pan and gets ruined. This was the first time that didn't happen.














Dawson decided he wanted to eat the tissue paper in the gift bag. It immediately dissolved in his mouth and turned it green. The Dan's were supposedly watching him at the time.














A good game of ROAR! after dinner, super bowl, cake and presents.
Dan had a great birthday and the best part was sharing it with our family. I'm so lucky to have my sister and her wonderful family living so close. They are so good to us and they always make our birthdays really fun. They put up decorations, streamers, drawings and give us wonderful gifts! We especially love the Dollar Store gifts from the kids! :) We love their kids like they were our own! I tear up every time I think that I will move away one day.

7. Who's Taller? I guess he is, but we are both kind of midgety.
   
8. Who can sing better? That would definitely be me. I have tried to get Dan to match tones, but I don't think it can be done.
   
9. Who is smarter? Dan is definitely better at science and math, but I am better at writing and reading stuff.
   
10. Who does the laundry? Usually me, but he will change it if I ask him or if he runs out of underwear he will throw a load in.
