Goodbye from Savannah and Kisses from Madison. 

Happy Valentines day...

Before I tell you about the kids and their Valentines I can't miss the chance to tell you about my Valentine. I have been truly blessed beyond what I deserve with a husband who is a funny, kind, wise, hard working, loyal and all around awesome guy. I could tell you all about what a great dad he is but mostly I just wanted to take the chance to tell you I think he is an amazing husband and friend. After all he knows all my flaws and still loves me!

Well Mr C is off to school and Miss C had her party yesterday. They both were excited to share some fun things with their Teachers and friends. This year I made Cake balls for the teachers as It is one of my Hubby's favorites too so I made sure to make some for him. I got the recipe from bakerella. 

 I packed them up in these cute bags from Joanne's Fabrics

 Then for the Kids we made lips for the girls and mustaches for the kids. I taped them to a paper straw then attached  the Valentines the kids wrote with twine. I found the lips and mustaches as a free download at Living Locurto

Happy Valentines day!

twice the joy....

Last week I had the honor of taking some newborn pics for my dear Cousin Alyse. I still have so many pictures to go through but I thought I would give her and her wonderful husband as well and all of you a quick look at a few of my favorites so far. 

The blessings that make me smile Madison and Savannah!

Miss Maddy decided to stay awake the second time I came to visit.

Miss Savannah was sleepy from staying awake the first visit. 

Love these little girls and feel so blessed to spend time with them and there amazing parents!

Gratitude...
