We had a wonderful time as the kids both woke up to a fun morning and afternoon planned for them. I was so inspired by Kate Gosselin's traditions for her 8 children, I decided this year to do more then just a few presents and lunch out. Last night, after Trayj & Jie went to sleep we decorated the house all over with hanging decorations and fun little things. I had new Monkey slippers by both kids doors when they woke up this morning. They were quite the hit, except Jie couldn't walk down the stairs with hers on and got upset that Trayj wouldn't wait on her. Once they both came downstairs, I had fun gift bags for them with silly items like Valentine Glasses, Candy Necklaces and candy. Then they got to do a scavenger hunt throughout the house to find their real gifts. They both enjoyed it, although Jie really hadn't ever done one, so she just followed Trayj from clue to clue until finally at the end he helped her find her presents. She got a new Disney CD player, a Princess Movie and Sand Digging toys (which she wanted to take a bath right away to use them in the water). Trayjan loves his gifts, he got a new Mario DS Game, a Indiana Jones Lego set and a Ben 10 DVD. It was so wonderful watching them both enjoy so many fun things. Trayjan got a little extra game, I had hung cute puffy lips throughout the house on pictures and he had to find them all, he had a ball finding all of them. This year not only did we do the fun stuff, we made a Valentine breakfast with heart shaped pancakes and chocolate, along with a wonderful lunch and Fondue Desert. The kids loved the desert, they were both a mess with chocolate all of them with the help of Daddy putting it on their noses. I loved that we made it such a fun and family day. Usually it's simple, but this year was so much more special with all of us togther for the first time for Valentines Day.
