Valentine's day with Cade

We've been celebrating Valentine's day all month!  My friend Amy does an activity with her kids each day of February leading up to Valentine's day and I tried to do that with Cade this year.  I didn't get too many pictures, but here is what we did--not in order:
1.  Set up hanging hearts, one for each person that we loved (until we ran out of hearts) Cade made sure that we had one for Frosty and Santa.
2.  Made valentine's for Cade's grandparents
3.  Finger painting
4.  Make red velvet sandwich cookies
5.  Play with heart shaped marshmallows
6.  Make rice krispie treats with leftover marshmallows
7.  Take treats to neighbors
8.  Take a picture of Cade and Cami to put with valentines and get it printed
9.  Decorate sugar cookies with friends
10.  put up window stickers
11.  Eat a yummy dinner (red jello, fajitas with red peppers, raspberry cheesecake) with fun decorations and open a valentine's present (I got Cade 2 books one called Mater and one called Lightning McQueen.)

We had fun and he knows that hearts mean love and that he loves Grandma and Grandpa!  He was very excited to get my parent's valentine in the mail and wanted to hang it up high where Cami couldn't get it. 

This is the picture we sent grandparents.  I thought it would be cute to get them sitting together and holding a heart or something.  Yeah right!  Cami had a headband on, here it is in her hands.  They love playing on the stairs and this picture turned out really cute.
