My Hubby luckily had the day off for valentines day. It was a busy day getting marisol off to school for their valentines party. (Lucky for me Alex takes her to School every morning) I slaved away in the kitchen cooking and cleaning. I also had to do a last minute run to the closest store for napkins, where I also found some cute goodies for the kids valentine bags. I picked up a cute Minnie Mouse necklace and bracelet set for mari, Minnie Mouse bangle bracelet set, a Dora book, and Minnie Mouse art set. I also found a few things for Henry too, like a CARS book, A CARS2 art set, and a walking crab. I came home to put everything together before Marisol came home from school. I worked away I made oreo pie dessert, strawberry cheesecake, and chocolate musse treats. I also got stuff for root-beer floats. Alex had never tried one before and either did our guests. ;) Our good friends from church are from ecuador. They are so great and I love having friends for the kids that share our hispanic heritage. She made tacos de lengua, and tortas méxicanas. Everything was sooo yummy. I made some rice last minute to go along with what she had prepared. Yummy yummy everything was amazing. It was so great to sit around the table and talk about topics we agreed on. The kids just ran around,played and watched the movie R.V. Crazy there were 6 kids running aroun on the lower level of our townhouse. Ha! What a sight. My mom was also able to attend for awhile and enjoyed some of our treats. I had also got goodie bags for each of the kids. The 3 little girls Marisol,Vicki, and Emma got purse shaped bags with bracelets,candies,slinkies and 2 earasers. The oldest Daniella got a mini gumball machine, candy and bracelets. The boys got robot art sets,mini balls, slinkies and candies. We had also recieved a box in the mail that day from Great Grandma. She sent the kids cards, valentines,money, stuffed animals, candy, and valentine debbie cakes. Mari and I each got Alex a card. I also got Alex a chocolate license plate that said I LOVE YOU! Alex picked up Marisol from school and she brought me a rose. ;) so sweet. I was so happy to have great friends and family together for this years valentines day. It was amazing. I just love feeling a togetherness when the house is full of great company and great food. I love being able to focus on family values and traditions. As well as Heritage and culture. Hope everyone had a great Valentines Day! :)
