Valentine's Day

We had such a fun Valentine's Day this year. It took lots of preparation, including making a box for the school valentines with Grandma Vogel. 

 And writing "Andrew" 27 times. The night before. Note to self: next year, divide the task throughout the week!

 Kate's outfit that she had laid out the night before, including a headband, stick on earrings, a necklace and sparkly gold shoes. 

 Flowers from my Valentine. 

 Andrew opening my card that he gave me. He then immediately asked if he could have the sucker. T

 Little Lego sets for our sweets. 

 Legos are the best!

 And in Andrew's opinion, so are Nerf guns. 

 Target practice.

 And that night Kate's religious ed class was in charge of mass. She read the introduction to the service in front of 300+ people. She did amazingly well, and it made me cry. A lot. 

 Joining all the first graders for a song at the end of mass. 

And in other news...so excited for Uncle Tom's engagement at the end of January. We could not be happier to have Jenny join the circus!
