Sweet Pure Love

 

Love is in the air.

Still.

My sister came over before the big Valentine's Day and watched Lily rearrange her room.

"Don't you like it?"

My sister also brought along some craft supplies to put together a little something for Valentine's Day.

It was a really simple, fun craft.

First we stuck scrapbook stickers on our pre-cut log slices.

Then we gave the logs two coats of chalkboard paint.

And then we had an early Valentine celebration since my sister and my bro-in-law would be skiing on the real day.

"Uncle Heather always makes sure I will be stylish no matter the occasion."

"And mommy is always looking for a reason for a photo shoot."

"I am pretty cute, so I really don't blame her."

 

 

The day before Valentine's Day, Lily learned to crawl...and has not slowed down since!

Back to the little how-to just in case anyone is wanting to make their own log chalkboard.

After the paint dried, we tore the stickers off, painted the top of a little wooden heart, which was hot glued in place.

For a little extra touch, we wood burned a message on the back and added Lily's hand print.

We wrote our message and had it waiting by the coffee pot for Mr. Welder to find on Valentine's morning.

 He surprised his gals with this lovely flower arrangement.

"Custom with lilies and burlap."

 We grilled steaks that evening with my parents.

 Lily opened her gifts.

 "Pretty cool, but I really like the paper."

 We took our first camping trip in the camper that weekend-pics coming soon.

Lily needed a little snooze from all the fun when we gathered for our family Sunday dinner.

 After cooking with Grandma,

Opening more Valentine's goodies,

 Sitting on this cool couch,

 It was time for Buzz Lightyear to give Lily a drink from the Santa cup to complete her first Valentine's Day celebrations.

Pure love.
