Love is in the Air

We had a fun couple of days celebrating Valentine's Day. I knew that Monday would be busy since it was a school night, so we started a few days early. On Saturday, we had a family date afternoon. I really loved focusing on our love for our family. I want to make this family date a tradition. We started by taking Hannah to Build-a-Bear so she could build her first bear herself. She had fun picking out the bear and her clothing. She named the bear Lucy (or Ooo-ee) from one of her favorite puppy dogs (it's actually our friend's the Windham's dog). Then we went to dinner at O'Charley's. When we got home, Tim and I watched "You Again" and enjoyed each others company. Here we are helping Hannah at Build-a-Bear.

Getting started...

Watching her bear get filled with stuffing and love! Giving her bear a bath.
Finally dressing her bear in a new Valentine's outift -- then it was off to naming her Lucy!
On Sunday, we worked together to make Valentine's Day cupcakes and write out Hannah's cards for her friends at the babysitters. Of course she is such a little baker and really enjoyed helping make her treats.

When today got here, we got ready to head off to Ms. Sarah's. I was able to get a picture of Hannah and Lucy before we left.

That evening, she had fun opening her cards from relatives and a few gifts from Nonnie, Gampy and a little bag of Elmo goodies from us. It was great spreading the love over a few days and really enjoying our time together!
