Brian and I went to lunch at Yesterdogs. Not the most romantic place, but it has been ages since we have both been there. Their dogs are really messy, so it is not exactly a place I want to bring the girls yet since I don't want to deal with two toddlers while I have chili sauce running down my hands. After lunch, we went shopping and ran some errands. It was nice being able to get in and out of the car quickly without worrying about getting the girls in and out of their car seats.
After we came home, we had our "party" with the girls. Throwing a party for a two and a half year old is really easy - all you have to do is have a few little things out of the ordinary, tell her we are having a party and add a "whoo hoo" at the end of the sentence, and you are good to go.
Allison was super excited that we had Valentine decorations and that we used paper plates for dinner. For some reason she was really excited about that.
Amelia was excited about the fresh fruit we bought that afternoon.
After dinner, we opened our Valentines. The girls were excited to open their mail. They were fascinated with the cards their cousins made them.
After the cards, we opened the presents. Just before Christmas I found some awesome deals for toys on Amazon, so we had a stock pile of gifts in storage. We figured it would be a good time to give them some of these toys. Allison received a Tag Jr. set and Amelia received a baby doll.
You can't have a party without cake, can you? I highly recommend the red velvet cake from Meijer. The cake is only $5.99 this month. Amelia wasn't willing to pose for a picture. All she wanted to do was dig into the cake, so we had to get a little creative for the pictures.
Overall Allison gave the party, a 2-Heart rating.
