Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day at our house if full of Birthday festivities for Taylor.  This year he really got spoiled with parties, gifts, treats and fun. 

His b-day fun started on Saturday we went to lunch with Goofy Grandma & Grandpa at Red Robin.

Taylor and Emily each brought a friend and we left Isaac at home for a nap.  It was a fun lunch with yummy fries. 

Taylor's Basketball team had their last game on Sat.  They were undefeated this season, and had a lot of fun!  Danny enjoyed being their coach, all the boys really made a lot of improvement. 

Then on Valentine's Day, Monday morning we started with his chosen B-day breakfast; Cocoa Puffs!  What a great nutritious and delicious way to start the day.

Tay's class had a fun Valentine's Day party, I went to the classroom to help.  We played Bingo, did relays, made a craft and had a treat.  Then they sang " Happy Birthday" to him and let him wear the goofy B-day hat.  His teacher is so fantastic.  Taylor LOVES being in her class and is learning so much.  Last week they got to go on a field trip to the state capital and meet the Governor!

After school I had a surprise party planned for all the kids on our street.  It was a lot of fun, especially because the weather was nice and warm. 

We played a lot of games, did a treasure hunt, and ate lots of junk food.  Taylor wanted chocolate donuts instead of cake, so I stacked them on a cake stand, but forgot to get a picture before they were devoured!

He got some fun gifts from his friends and was thrilled with the whole party!

Thanks to Mono for helping with Isaac he was sad because it wasn't his party!

Thanks to Grandma Shields for helping out!  It's so great to live near our grandparents!

Here's the party group following the clues in the treasure hunt.  They really had fun on the hunt and were racing all around the street looking for the prize.

After the party we had Tay's choice for dinner; chicken tacos with homemade salsa. Then he opened gifts from the family. We got him scriptures. Then later after FHE Grandpa & Grandma Shields came and took Taylor to the "Barnes & Noble" to choose a book for his B-day and out for ice cream This is a fun tradition they started last year and he loved it! He chooses animal encyclopedia books, he loves to learn facts about all sorts of animals.  He came and was tired but happy- I think he had a fantastic B-day!

It was a fun, but exhausting day!  I was so tired after cleaning up and getting everyone to bed I could hardly walk!  I can't take so many parties in one day. 

Hope you had a great Valentine's Day!
