Valentine’s Day 2013

Valentine’s Day 2013. I bought Ally a super cute pink dress with white hearts on it and she said she would wear it on Valentine’s Day, but basically chickened out. A few days before she started to back out on wearing it. And the night before she cried. She told me when she agreed to wear it she did not know there would be school because most Holidays are not school days! It came out in our conversation that the dress was cute, and people would tell her she looked cute and she did not want people to look at her. And being cute means she is little and she really did not like being little! We talked about being cute and little and the positive things of both, but she was pretty adamant no heart dress. Sigh….

Lauren tried in the morning but she was unable to get Ally to wear it, so instead Ally wore her red twirl dress, and had some pink bows in her hair.

After school Ally had gymnastics, so no pictures of the bows, since they come out for gymnastics.

Ally was so excited to get home and open her Valentine’s from school, from us and the ones she got in the mail. She was determined to finish her cards for us before we ate dinner.

Becky made a pizza in the shape of a heart, but Ally (of course) chose cereal – and Becky has bought Heart to Heart cereal which Ally loved.

I bought them each a red rose, and Ally noticed it was the same color as her dress.

In addition to the heart pizza, Becky cut red peppers into the shape of hearts. Ally had cards for each of us and one for the both of us.

I love the picture she made in Art class. Ally got some Polly Pockets from us.

But the big hit was cards from Aunt Martha, Grandma Barbie & Grandma Debbie (yes grandpa and Poppy too) but in the cards from her grandmas there was money! Can you tell how excited and surprised Ally was?

Debbie’s was folded in the shape of a heart- too cute.

It was a fun celebration!
