Happy Valentine's Day!

The kids were busy in the days leading up to Valentine's Day making Valentines for all of their friends and teachers

Sweet Valentines

Be Our Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day!

We have been busy preparing to spread the love with LOTS of glitter, stickers, and hearts.

And some pictures of my loves on Valentine's Day 2012:

Hugs and kisses:

In addition to the handmade Valentine's, Luke and I also worked together to create these for his classmates:

I think that they turned out really cute.  We also put together bags with some goodies for each child that Luke got to hand out at the end of the school day.  He was so thrilled!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We spread Valentine's Day out a bit this year and celebrated some the weekend before. They both opened their little gifts from Mommy and Daddy the day before Valentine's Day. For Luke, a small set of Lincoln Logs. For Mia, Violet the talking/singing dog. Plus a few little things: lollipops, stickers, hair clips, etc. They were both excited.


Luke and I also baked cookies for his class the weekend before. He was so proud as he helped me to assemble Valentines for all of his classmates and stuff little cellophane bags filled with red and pink sprinkle cookies. He also made (with the help of Day) a beautiful bouquet of heart shaped chocolate pops for Mommy and Daddy as well as some to give to his teachers. So it was especially disappointing when he came down with a cough and fever the Sunday afternoon before the big day. By the following morning I knew there was no way he could go to school ... so we ended up spending the morning at the pediatrician's office instead - only to find out that he had croup. We were able to head over to his school just before dismissal so that he could drop off his bag of goodies for his classmates. Thankfully Luke's sweet teachers had made sure to collect all of his Valentine's for him so he was able to bring those home to go through that afternoon. Despite how sick he was, he loved looking through all the Valentines from his friends.

I made the cutest Valentine's Day shirt for Luke and was disappointed that he didn't go to school that day to show it off :) ... but we wore it to the Dr.'s office!

And Mia looked just darling in her outfit and was such a great sport about tagging along with Mommy and Luke all morning.

May lots of LOVE fill your hearts and homes today!!!

XOXO,

The Saccentos

Happy Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentine's Day this year. Sweet Luke woke me up with a card and box of chocolates (which I knew he had gone to get with Daddy the day before because he promptly returned home and told me all about it - ha!). He proceeded to unwrap the See's box and dig in :). Nothing like chocolate before 8am! Now, that's Mommy's kind of boy!

What Luke was able to keep a secret was the beautiful pair of diamond hoop earrings from Daddy! I'm sure that this has more to do with the fact that Michael didn't tell Luke what they were picking up ... and not really Luke's ability to keep big secrets! I LOVE my new earrings - a perfect gift not only for Valentine's Day, but also to commemorate Mia's birth (I have a beautiful necklace from when Luke was born).

We spent the morning in bed exchanging cards, went out together for breakfast, and had a restful afternoon. That evening Mommy and Daddy were able to sneak away for a few hours to have sushi together followed by a drink at the Fairmont.

It was a perfect day ... I couldn't love my three Valentines more!

Oh, and I didn't get a picture of Luke in his V-Day shirt :( ... oh, well, I'll just make him wear it another time and take pictures then! Here are a few of Miss Mia.
