A Sunny Valentine’s Day Weekend

We decorated the house with pinks and reds and hearts covered every window! 

I had grand plans to design some adorable Valentines cards for Ellie, but when it came down to it, the $3 box of Princess valentines from Target trumped all. Ellie was super excited to bring them to her class. And I believe after her preschool party, she downed her Valentine treats within the hour. 

Ellie wrote her name on every valentine! This was one of the more legible ones. 🙂 We’ve been practicing every day writing her name, Addie’s name, mom and dad. She’s been working really hard! 

One morning we made Valentine’s day houses (thanks to my friend Jamie’s genius idea!) Ellie thought it was the best morning ever. We brought a few pre-made houses and a bag of candy and supplies over to her friends that were sick, too. It was a hit! 

Addie was usually right next to us during our Valentine’s crafting and house making. She attempted to eat every piece of paper in sight!

The weather here has been SUPER foggy and cold (yuck!), so we decided to head down to Southern Utah for a long weekend.

Best decision ever to head down south. Sunshine! Blue skies! Hallelujah! Alos, time to retire Addie’s dress. It’s a little short! 😉

Ellie was in heaven at Gramma’s house. Where else do you get to play in the sprinklers in February? We were all in desperate need of sunshine, so this weekend was heaven sent!

The only picture I got this weekend of me and my Valentine! (and also Addie and our niece Rebecca). We spent Saturday and Monday checking out the St. George Parade of Homes. Talk about amazing! We don’t exchange gifts on Valentines day (by mutual agreement!) but being able to spend hours in the sunshine together was the perfect Valentine’s gift!

All my siblings were in town, along with a few of Brian’s too, so we had a big Call/Zurcher family dinner in my parents backyard for Valentine’s day!

With my niece Camilla and Addie checking out this gorgeous little nook! Dream office space!

Addie adores Gracie. And Ellie loves Erin. We joke that it’s becuase each pair has verrry similar personalities. (Seriously, though! It’s adorable)

Ellie got to go to Gramma’s preschool one day and she was beyond thrilled about it!

And a final photo of a pool from the parade of homes. (I think this one was from Marie Osmond’s house!) It was such a fun weekend in the sunshine with my cute valentines. XOXO
