Our Day of Love Festivities

This years Vday celebration wasn't super exciting around our house! We spent the whole day before at Children's and so exhausted was our middle name.

BUT, we did manage to have a little festive fun anyway!!

The Sunday before Valentine's Day we had an open house at our house.  We set out festive cupcakes (mostly just for our agent to enjoy while she waited!) and we just so happen to enjoy their deliciousness for a few days after!
**Side note: We found Cooper later in the evening, sitting on his knees in our dining room chairs and reaching with elbows on the table...over the table to get to the cupcakes. He was saying, "CAKES Momma. CAKES Dadda. I CAKES!" He's lucky he didn't fall and have to get stitches.  Which I'm pretty sure I've said to him on mutliple occasions already. (I hearby state he may well be our stitches kid.) Thankfully we had a pretty good laugh after we retrieved him off the chairs. No stitches...yet anyway.**

The boys Valentine's consisted of little crates that said LOVE on them...and were filled with fun Valentine's suckers (or pops if you ask Owen), little kid-sized Hulk, Iron Man and Spider Man beanie toys, heart-shaped tattoos and play doh. There was a box for each boy in my house...and a super hero for each one!  Dadda's crate had a festive photo frame, his favorite candy and a Hulk...no play doh or tattoos. Being 30 is boring isn't it?

On Valentine's Day we put on our matching tats and ate suckers and played with super heroes.


The boys were also recipients of wonderful reminders of love from our nieces and nephews! Thank you all for the personal deliveries and for being our wonderful family and friends. You certainly brightening our lives :)

Valetine's evening Jeremy and I sat down to our awesome new fondue set (thank you Steff and Bry! I ate the entire quart of strawberries minus 3 or 4 that Jeremy ate...it was ridiculously delicious!) and we caught up on our re-run of the Grammy's. Ahh. A perfectly relaxing way to end our day!

**Tulips were from my Momma! Because she's awesome like that!!**

Here's hoping everyone enjoyed something special about the day of love!  Never hurts to be reminded that we are loved and that we love those around us!  I also happened to be the recipient of a lovely fuscia orchid.  I'm looking forward to taking it to work and having a daily reminder of my hubby!!

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!
