Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a fabulously pink (and red i guess haha) Valentine's Day!!! We have been preping for DAYS and the day finally came for some super FUN LOVIN'!! Piper had such a special day at school complete with treats and valentine giving. She had such a blast and was so excited to get to participate in a big kid school party:) I was feeling a little bad for Bailey, though, because she was so excited for Piper to give out Valentines and then said..."can I give valentine's to MY friends?!" Awww! I realized she was hearing all about what fun Piper was going to have and figured she was going to get to have a party too! So...Monday night I whipped up some games/activities for us to do together to celebrate. Here's little miss Bailey with her valentines breakfast and getting ready for some sweetheart activities!

Lena was so good to bounce away while we ate our conversation hearts and counted heart jewels.

After our activities we decided to head out to deliver Valentines! Here's my big girl with her bag of goodies. I felt a little bad and maybe should have called everyone first to give the heads up but only one of her friends was home for her to give to personally ... but she still enjoyed taping the treats to the door so all is well. Except... while on our outing I got a TICKET!! GRRRRR!!! Seriously who the heck stops a mom with kids whos going the speed limit, wearing her seat belt, using her blinker... COME ON! I swear next opportunity I have to get the heck out of this state I think I'll jump for it ;) Never in my LIFE have I gotten a ticket until we move to TX!

And moving on...

After naps the girls were so excited to make special chocolate covered strawberries for daddy and we even dipped a few of those FABULOUS Cinnamon Bears MaryAnn gave me for my bday! They were SUPER YUM!




Ok so who knew HGTV would entertain my kids so much. I mean Bailey won't sit down to watch ANY cartoon - even BARNEY! But here she is LOVING HGTV. It's a mystery!

Gotta love Lena and her looks! Such a SWEET baby!

Daddy was able to get home a wee bit early for our SPECIAL V-day dinner and the girls' luv bugs reappeared with their final treat AND Grandmommy and Grand daddy's Valentines showed up in the mail so we had some serious LOVING going on. Our dinner may or may not (but mostly may) have come out in courses because turns out I don't know how to cook steak but when the steak FINALLY was done it was GOOD! I asked Piper earlier in the week what she thought we should make for daddy on V-day and she said steak! Ahhhhh I was like Seriously! What 4 year old says steak! But I DID ask so I figured I should give it a shot. So we had loaded baked potatoes for our first cou/a(?)rse, followed by Asparagus (which turns out my kids DO like if you don't cook it till it's black - good to know), and for our final cou/arse steak. And it actually turned out good - hooray!

Here's the love of my life holding the sweetest baby in the world. Isn't he FABULOUS!! Lover Boy surprised us ALL with a bouquet of flowers - ROSES! Always and Forever my favorites!! Such a classy guy... and a SUPER stud muffin!

I'm so grateful I have such a wonderful Fam to give extra loves to! Hope everyone had a super fabulous Valentine's Day!!
