Valentines

My sweetheart signing cards for her school friends Sunday night. Signed 16 of them altogether! I dotted her name and she traced them.
Thought she would bore quickly of this project, but instead she was oh-so-proud. It was really sweet.
Next we donned our aprons, pulled our hair back, and got baking. We made big heart cookies to share with her class. Turned out real cute but camera died b4 we got the frosting on!
Looks wild here, but was actually just being silly Vday morning. We exchanged cards over bfast and told her treats would be waiting for her till after school. This year she was happy to put on her Valentines tutu and, in fact, wanted to wear it to school. Hey, who am I to come between a girl and her frilly fashion? So funny...all the girls in Ruby's class had pink or red on with hearts or something girly. They all looked so darling. When Ruby walked in it was like a greeting committee. RUBY!!!!! They all rushed her, helped her with her coat, and oooed and ahhed over her outfit. The kids really dote on her cause she's the baby of the class. LOL, enjoy the fuss now, Rubes. You won't the littlest in the class next year!
What? A goodie bag for ME??? This is a face that sees chocolate.
Inside the bag... some Hersey kisses, a couple princess lip balms, one little book, and 2 dolls. She was a happy camper!

Had a great afternoon and then later, the 3 of us went out for sushi at our favorite local hang. A wonderful love day spent with the ones I love!

Go Ruby with the name-writing. We're still on the letter T over here, and from the looks of it might be for sometime to come.

How fabulous she'll go to a sushi restaurant too. She is a beautiful little valentine.

She still traces, but it's getting better! Team is still so young yet so if he's got one letter down that's pretty good!

And yea, we are lucky with Ruby and eating out. She's a good eater and has always been real great with dining out. Especially any Asian restaurants! Loves sushi (though we only let her have a bit), Thai... anything with rice basically. We even get her to eat chilli or other dishes at home by putting it in with rice!
