Valentine decor

I have never been a huge Valentine decorator, so this year I decided to make my house look really cute and full of "LOVE". I love how all of my projects turned out. I always think I am not very creative but I do have some creativity in me. The other day I had finally finished all the projects and put everything in a place and a few days later Bryce asked"mom when are we gonna decorate for Valentine's day?" My feelings were slightly hurt for a split second, but coming off of a holiday like Christmas, it's a little hard to compete with those decorations. Kids are so funny and they really do say whats on their mind.
I decided to add a few pink petals and thought it looked soo cute!

These "love" letters I actually got at a garage sale last year sometime for only 2 dollars for the whole set. They were just the plain cardboard color so I pute cute scrapbook paper on them and they turned out soo cute
I saw these cute wreaths on some craft blogs and the roses were taking forever so I decided to wrap the felt around the wreath and it really turned out cute. The ribbon can be replaced by Christmas ribbon and maybe even 4th of july ribbon. So I will definately get my moneys worth with this craft.
Here is a close up of the roses!
Here is one last craft and the fun thing about these are that they are very innerchangeable(sp), almost all the holidays can have letters that you just paint, glitter and glue onto cardstock then place in frame with no glass.

Christmas Eve

 Ok so I am a little late on posting this but better late than never right? We always have Christmas Eve dinner at our house every year so this year was no different. My sweet mother in law made me some really cute aprons and when Kevin came over he said he wanted to help so he got to wear the cute apron, isn't he just adorable? We made yummy sweet pulled pork and cilantro rice and all the sides that would go into a salad or burrito, it was soo yummy. We had a huge span of people over. There was my mom and dad and sister and husband, then there was my mother and father in law, then we had my brother in law, then we had my sisters in laws over and last but not least Toby and his new family came too. The house was filled up. I love it though, it can get crazy but so worth having everyone together.

Here are some group shots of everyone mingling..lol

Sisters

I am soo greatful and very blessed to have the oppertunity to raise 2 daughters. I love that Bailee finally has a sister, she loves Lyla so much and is a huge help with her, she never hesitates to do things for her. I cant wait for the time that Bailee will teach her fun girl stuff and play makeup and barbies with her. I love these girls with all my heart! They re so much fun
