We don't usually make a big deal out of Valentine's Day, but my dad sent a package for the kids and we let them open it this morning. They were excited to find the funky heart glasses, but Bama really fired up their creativity by helping them draw pictures around the stickers they received. Clara was just thrilled to put stickers on paper - it's one of her favorite activities, haha.
Val came by later that evening with gifts for the kids that Rob sent over from Kuwait, where he is currently deployed. I was touched that he would go to that trouble and the boys certainly loved the Army drawstring bags and matching Army t-shirts. Clara got a cute little teddy bear with a pink Army shirt and they all loved the bonus candy from Aunt Val. That's always sure to be a hit. ;)
Derek took on the role of MC and doled out parcels for his siblings to unwrap
The excitement was palpable!
I love Bryce's thrilled faces. He's so cute. :)
Rocking the heart-shaped glasses!
Clara is still waking up a little
Derek tried to sound out the card on his own. He's doing better with reading!
Bama helped Bryce draw background objects like trees, grass and flowers to show off his stickers
Derek loves to draw
After a while, Bryce really started to take off and fill his page with color
The finished masterpieces! Definitely going on the fridge!
Opening the presents from Rob and Val
Derek tried to sneak Clara's heart candy. Swiper, no swiping!
Modeling their new Army shirts while Clara holds her cute teddy bear. Thanks Rob and Val!!!
