Valentine's Day 2010

We started by celebrating Valentine's day on Friday. Guiliana had a party at school with her friends. She brought apples and yogurt to share with her friends as well as M&M's. Her and I also made Tinkerbell Valentine's to give out at her party. Guiliana came home with a bunch of little goodies as well as a little bit of a sugar rush!!! Saturday we went to Grandma and Grandpa Tortora's house to celebrate Valentine's day as well as Grandpa's birthday (2/15) Guiliana colored him a picture and we made him Chocolate Oreo brownies (we always make brownies for Grandpa as they are his favorites!) Grandma had a lot of little Valentine's gifts for Gules and a gift that her and Grandma made together for me. It was a nice family afternoon.
This morning started off with Guiliana giving Daddy his gift. She got him a Reeses Valentine heart and I gave him a pair of boxers that had the word LOVE all over them. Then I made them Cinnamon french toast, eggs, and coffee. Over the past few days I had made fun-fetti heart shaped cakes with pink frosting & sprinkles and heart shaped banana muffins to go along with the occasion. We hung around today and had a nice family day full of love and way too many sweets!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Disney On Ice 1/17/10

Guiliana went to her very first Disney on Ice show. We had fantastic seats thanks to our pals Debra and Kendel. Our seats were 15 rows from the ice which was perfect for someone as young as Guiliana. The show included, Cars, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, and Tinkerbell. But I have to admit, her very favorite part was when Mickey and Minnie came out in the beginning to introduce the show. She is obsessed with Minnie right now so much so, that she almost knocked over a group of people to pick out her Minnie that she bought (and wouldn't let go of) at the show. When Minnie came out she would say... "Look, Minnie, Look" She sat the whole time but got a little squirmy during the Lion King. It was such a fun afternoon with my favorite gal.
