I have to document Valentine's Day while it is still February...
The Boxes...
I love how it is totally obvious which box belongs to who. Their personalities are so different and I love that about them.
The Partays...
Eden had one with some friends after school.
Camden didn't realize that he wasn't invited to the party...
C and I "helped" out at the school parties.
Camden and Eden doing the cupcake walk.
Camden getting his fill of grapes and cookies at Maya's party.
I love how he is a little celebrity every time we go to school. All the kids run up to him to get fist bumps and chest bumps.
The Dinner...
We had our homemade heart pizza that I lovingly made thank you very much.
The Gifts...
Maya got the Converse shoes she had been waiting her whole life for!
(thank you Fred Meyer for having them on clearance.)
Eden got a very "Eden" shirt with a scarf. She too was over the moon with her gift. I thought I took a picture of it. I may take one tomorrow...or maybe not?
Camden got washable markers. No picture of this but here are some of his drawings with his new markers...he calls them "pizza".
I asked for an orbital sander for V-day but instead Aric got me this....
...A NEW PHONE!!!!
I am beyond thrilled with this gift. Let's be honest, this is not the fanciest phone on the planet but it doesn't need to be an iphone or a droid to win for the best phone ever, and this is why....
Five years ago I got this lovely phone for v-day.
It wasn't anything special back then either but it was a giant step up from what I had before.
And honestly, besides it's ugly factor and broken thingy, it worked just fine for talking to people but texting was ridiculous. It got to the point that if I texted I would only use 3 to 5 words because it took so long to type anything.
Not anymore!!!! I have a keypad so now I can type novels if I want. I love it and I am so happy. The only downside was that it took a week to get it working properly...but that is a story for another day.
Aric got a trip to Arizona with me and that, I will blog about next...

SO fun! You are such an awesome mommy. What a great time!!
Hey, I'm in AZ! Were we here at the same time? It's a small world after all.
Yay! You found my blog! I found yours a couple weeks ago through Ashley's too and have been stalking you ever since...wait, does it count as stalking if I'm telling you about it? :)
The girls' Valentines boxes are fantastic. I love the feathers to make a heart.
I also love that Camden is a celebrity at the school. That happens with John and he gets so excited.
I love your striped shirt and red sweater on the day of the Valentine's Day parties. Very cute.
