Keeping Up with the Coxes: Valentine's Day!

After this year, I've decided that Valentine's Day should always fall on a Friday! The children are always so excited and you don't mind getting them all sugared up at school knowing that they'll be home for the weekend afterwards! This year was even better because President's Day fell on the following Monday so it was a three day weekend for the kids.

Jacob had to bring his class valentines to school on Monday (which I thought was a bit odd) and we ended up making the same valentines as last year. A new school and new kids so we didn't mind the same valentines! I ordered a digital file of Jonah's tags on Etsy and just had them printed in color on cardstock. Then we bough the GoSqueeze applesauce and attached the tags. I think they were a hit with all of Jonah's friends!

Jonah's valentines this year-his friends loved the applesauce he brought!

Jacob's valentines (tags also ordered on Etsy) attached to individual Chips Ahoy cookie bags.

Jonah loved having a pizza party at school with all his friends!

After school, we gave the boys their valentines gift from us. Needless to say, Jacob received a new Lego set and we gave Jonah a transport truck that holds all the Go Go Smart Wheels vehicles he has collected since Christmas. They played for a little bit before we headed to the mall. We love taking the boys to the mall because there is so much to do! Jacob used his money he got from Mim and Poppa to buy a new Lego set at the Lego store, we stopped by Starbucks for a little treat and bought some new books at Barnes and Noble. Then it was time to ride the carousel. Jonah had never ridden it before, and to say he had fun would be a major understatement! He LOVED it!! Just as the mall was beginning to get busy, we headed for home. A special Happy Meal dinner for the boys and then bedtime. Truly, the perfect way to spend Valentine's Day!!!
