BEAR HUGS for Valentines

We finished up our Valentine Treats for some very important people today. The kids wanted to give their teachers and our baby sitter something special for Valentines. We took Hershey's Hugs and Teddy Grahams and layered them in a mason jar, added a little tag for them to sign their name and topped them off with the words "BEAR HUGS"! The kids are so proud and can't wait to hand them out on Valentine's day!

Homemade Valentines

I wanted to share the Valentines the kids and I put together tonight. I found this idea right after Valentines Day last year and could not wait to make them. Taking the photos was a little challenging with Claire but we pulled it off. I got the photos in the mail today and the kids had so much fun putting the suckers on. I cut a little slit above and below their hand with a utility knife and the kids weaved a valentine sucker through to look like they were holding it! These pictures do not do them justice...They are SOOOOO cute! The kids can't wait to hand them out!

Claire's First Haircut

Right before Christmas I decided it was time for Claire to have her first haircut. She didn't really need a haircut but trimming it and shaping it up just a little made such a difference. She did so good, she sat up in the chair all by herself. She was she proud of her new haircut! Thanks Danielle!

A Taylor Christmas

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas this year at the Taylor house, so wonderful it is the middle of January before I am getting around to this post. Be prepared for lot's of pictures...there are just so many cute ones what can I say! We had Christmas at Papaw Tony's the weekend before Christmas. I think the highlight of that day was the airgun Conner got from Uncle Phillip! I have never seen one boy so excited!
We then had our traditional Christmas eve breakfast at my Mom's house. All the grands wear there very special jammies made by Grancy (my mom). They all looked so cute! Pillow pets were the gift of the year for my kiddos, thanks Aunt Leslie! We spent the whole day at my Mom's letting the kids play together and enjoying each others company.
The kids could not wait for Santa this year they were super excited! They must have been pretty good because Santa brought lots to the Taylor kids this year! Conner got a duck hunting jacket and a personalized duck call, the girls got American girl twins and everyone got an easel with lots of art supplies to share! It was so much fun to have a white Christmas this year.Santa must have known because everyone got new snow suits which were perfect for playing in the snow! Everyone loved playing in the snow! How blessed we are!
