I heart Valentine's Day!

I love Valentine's Day! It is so much fun for the kids. They get so excited and have to wear pink (like that is different from any other day!) McKayla insisted that she had to get her teacher flowers for Valentine's. So yesterday morning we got up a little earlier than usual and went to the store before school. She picked a very pretty bouquet. She was practically bouncing all the way to school. Lucky for me, her teacher was on duty outside so I got to watch the exchange! I will admit that I got a little teary eyed as I watched how excited she was to give her teacher flowers. It was fun to see her teacher hug her and McKayla just soaked it up. When did she get so big?

Since our kids have started to get bigger we like to celebrate Valentines as a family, not just a couple. Yeah for us that Raegan was home this year (he got home after midnight last night/this morning)! We celebrated by going on a Valentine's breakfast date as family. Olivia especially enjoyed the pancakes. As Raegan was in Louisiana this last week, he brought McKayla and Jocelyn back some very fancy Mardi Gras beads (not previously used, thank you very much!) and they thought that was a great Valentine's Day surprise.

To top the day off, my so nice sister is coming to tend our kids (thanks Tresea!) so we can go on a date tonight! My kids are so excited to spend time with their cousins and we get to go out without kids!

I hope all of you have a wonderful Valentine's Day as you spend time with those you love!
