A "handy" Valentine!

We are a family of big ideas!  Kinda...

My big idea was to go back to Florida with Jonah & Vera for a week to give Nana and Pop a really special Valentine's Day present!  It was a great plan... and much like great plans - they don't always turn out as expected - but we will get into that later...

Before we jetted off to the "Sunshine" state... we made some quick, easy and cute Valentines... which we forgot to bring with us to Nana and Pop... oh well...

We made hand prints in the shape of hearts.  Jonah & Vera had fun doing it... they especially liked just painting all over the paper and themselves after we finished with the hand print hearts... it is just how they like to do art... and I just go with it...

The next day we packed up and put on red fancy clothes for our journey to Florida.  Jonah insisted on wearing a tie with red stripes because that was what you wear when you are getting fancy... they were seriously too cute for words.

The plane trip went OK - except for Vera screaming for about 40 minutes nonstop - while Jonah was a perfect angel...  Turns out Vera has had a bit of a personality change - she is totally a Terrible Two.  Her favorite (and often only) words are NO and WHY... she is a mischievous as ever and she's got an attitude and facial expression for just about everything... she knows she is about to turn two and is not shy expressing herself...

Hope you all had a very very happy Valentines day!
