Here's Savannah festively dressed for the holiday and Cade sitting proudly (and a little overwhelmed apparently) next to all his Valentine's from preschool.
Valentine's Day in the Woodbury household was a hearty affair. Pink Oatmeal and Pink milk was served up for breakfast (I knew that strawberry milk drink mix would come in handy eventually. I almost tossed it last week!) I continued Mom's tradition of having little Valentine gifts at each place setting. Cade got new underpants (really, the kid gets thrilled about anything if it's wrapped), Kyle got this book (my Dad got it for Christmas and it was all Kyle could do to not sneak it in his suitcase and read it on the plane), Savannah got some freeze-dried bananas and I was surprised with some lovely perfume from the two men in my life. The tulips on the table were from me to me. Sweet, aren't I? I'm really good at buying presents for myself. To add even more fun to the day, I signed Cade up to bring the treat to Preschool. What did I make you ask? None other than homemade Oreo Cookies. Would you really expect me to serve up anything else? I should have added the drink mix to the frosting, too, so I could at least make it look like I was going for festive rather than selfish indulgent desires...

What a fun day :) I love valentines day!
I love the gift idea! Hey Michelle I read a good book while I was in Seattle and thought you might like it--it's called Eat Cake and it's by Jeanne Ray. Cute story, clean, and a pretty fast read. Hope you guys are doing well!
Can I have a cookie?
Do you think Cade's excitement for presents will still be there when he opens up luggage for Christmas his Senior year of High School?
haha! He better. Man, that was the GREATEST present I ever got! Seriously, I was thrilled. Still using that stuff today!
yes, Mel, we will have cookies waiting for you! One of Cade's requirements for his "Bacation wif Tywer"
Yum Michelle...i didn't realize you were soooo...domestic. By the way the Queen song is from the 70s so you're not old, just really young! muah!
The letter is from my missionary! We dated 5 years ago and have been writing for a year and a half. Nothing might come of it, but I care deeply for him and he gets home in three months! I am so excited. He lives in Tennessee where I am from. He was older when he left so he is 23 right now. If we become something, I will post a picture eventually if anything works out or email me at emdaisy@gmail.com and I will send you a picture (I am not sure I have your email address anymore). PS It was a 4 page letter! (Normally they are 2-3 pages!)
Yes, Sheryl, I am so domestic. The cookies require 3 ingredients plus the frosting. That's my idea of "homemade" !!!!
