This year's Valentine's day was a total success. The kids woke up to find these treats waiting for them. Each year my kids get some small gift from Chris and I, this year they got books. They were beyond excited.
Then I made Chris this yummy breakfast with heart-shaped cinnamon rolls.
After breakfast, Chris went to work and I got the kids ready for the day in their cute little Valentine's outfits. Don't they look adorable?
After getting all ready for the day, we went to our friend's house for a playgroup valentine's day party. We went over early to help set up. There were about 12 adults and 16 kids. Everyone brought something for lunch and we all exchanged valentines.
Here are the kids and I at the party.

After lunch the kids all played outside. With 16 kids it was a bit chaotic but the kids had a great time.
Then we exchanged valentines. Tanner and I made all his little friends these little goldfish valentines that say "Will you o'fish'ally be my valentine?" for the girls or "You are o'fish'ally the coolest valentine." for the boys. They were so cute and Tanner loved them. And I made Bailey little purse valentines this year. She loved handing these out. She kept saying " I give purses to all of my friends."
Here are the kids with their valentine boxes. Tanner's was a pirate ship. He helped me make it and loved getting to do something crafty with me. He actually used the hot glue gun and did all the glueing without burning either of us. He also painted the masts and helped attached the sails. Such a big helper.
Bailey wanted a princess castle this year. She didn't really do much to help but she was more than thrilled with the result.
Both kids love their valentine boxes.
After our playgroup party we went to Daddy's work to take him his "candy bouquet". The kids were a little sad to see all the candy stay with Dad, but they were happy to see him.
After naps, the kids got these lip suckers that they loved. It was so funny to watch them make faces with these lips.
For Valentine's day, Chris gave me a dozen chocolate covered strawberries. Unfortunately I ate most of them before I remember to snag a picture. They were delicious.
After Chris got home, I went and picked up our babysitter. It was our first time to use an actual babysitter and I was a little nervous. The girl we used came highly recommended and she didn't disappoint. The kids absolutely adored her. They ate a heart-shaped pizza, their boxes of chocolates and then made chocolate chip cookies. Then they watched a movie.
Chris and I only went to dinner, so we weren't gone long, but when we got home the kids were sad to see our sweet babysitter leave. I was so relieved. She said the kids were fantastic and we are so happy to have someone we can call when we need.
For our big valentine's day dinner, Chris took me to "Doe's Eat Place" and it was so delicious. We split a 2 lb porterhouse steak. The meat was so tender and delicious. It was a great dinner and so nice to have some alone time with my man!
Valentine's day was wonderful and I'm so grateful for the sweethearts in my life.
