Valentine's Day

I hope your Valentine's Day was as wonderful as mine was. I am lucky enough to have four Valentine's! We had a pretty low-key day, but we did do a few extra things to make the day special. We started off with a special Valentine's Day breakfast (for me that means muffins and scrambled eggs, I'm not a breakfast cook), then the boys had their Valentine's Day parties at school, which is always fun. After school was over I gave each of the kids (and Justin) a special Valentine's Day gift, and we ended the day with a yummy dinner and cookies for dessert. We had a fun day. Here's the proof:
These are the Valentine's that the boys' handed out this year. We did these last year too. They're always a hit. I love them!

Noah made this hat at school. When I picked him up he told me he was a 'love bug' in that hat.
Cutest love bug I've ever seen!
Josie looks so grown up to me here!
She got to have a lollipop when the boys got home. You'd have thought it was the best thing that had ever happened to her.
Yum!
For their Valentine's gift the boys both got Iron Man helmets.
Josie got a stuffed dog.
One of my favorite Valentine's!
A few nights ago, the residency program had a spa night for all the ladies (awesome), one of the things I got done was a pedicure. The next day Josie was so fascinated with my toenails. She couldn't stop staring/touching them. I decided to paint hers too. She hasn't had her nails painted since she was teeny tiny so I was a little worried that she was going to be super squirmy. Nope. She sat as still as a statue and watched in awe as her toenails turned red. Our feet were very festive today!
Justin and I aren't really big 'Valentine's Day' people so we don't go as full out as we do for other holidays, but the kids were so excited about it that it's hard not to get all wrapped up in the excitement! Happy Valentine's Day!

I won't let Easton see those helmets, he'd be coveting them for sure! So cute!
