Xander and Clare

Clare loves to raid Xander's car stash, and then drive them around while making the cutest "rrrr, rrrr" sounds.


Had a hair clip in her hair only because she didn't realize she had a hair clip in her hair. (Sneaky Mommy.)


Aunt Rachele sent (and made!) the kids the most fantastic blankets for Valentine's Day.


She also included a singing dog, which was a big hit.


And tissue paper! You can't go wrong with tissue paper!




The moment they realized the dog sings and flaps its ears around. Initially, Xander was much more excited by this than Clare (she was afraid of it for a day or so).






My Valentine's Day card from Xander. It's so true: handmade gifts are the best kind!
