Happy Heart Day!!

I love Valentine's Day!! I know it is a made up holiday but really, what can be bad about a day spent loving those around you :) The last few years have been even more fun because I love how much fun Chase has with it. Getting his school Valentine's ready and getting little gifts for him and Brady - I just think it's wonderful. Craig and I have never made it about gifts so I don't feel like it is a high pressure holiday - just a day to slow down from our crazy hectic lives to make sure we show how much we care!

This Valentine's I was a little sad because I had to be away for work but I arranged it so I flew back home about 5:30 and made it home by 6:30 that night - just in time to still celebrate with my boys. I got all Chase's Valentine's ready before I left, laid out the boys matching shirts, and tried to be as prepared as possible before leaving.

Valentine's morning I got the best text in the world... it said "Happy Valentine's Mommy" with this picture:


Definitely started off my day perfectly! I had a great work day and was so excited to get home to my boys!

I tried to get a couple pictures of Chase & Brady in their matching "Handsome Little Devil" shirts but this was the best I could manage - lol!





I walked in the kitchen to find flowers, cards, wine and jury duty - lol :)


My boys definitely spoiled me with sweet cards and the flowers were absolutely GORGEOUS!!


Chase and Brady got some candy and stuffed animals and Craig got some 90 Shilling beer - lol - we are very practical at Valentines. Forget the chocolate - we buy each other alcohol :)


Brady's presents from his babysitter, Michelle and her daughter Zoey - so sweet! She made a little picture frame for us, gave him a puppy and made some cookies :)


After putting Brady down we made pizza for dinner and then had our 2nd annual Valentine's fondue dessert! It was delicious and very fun to eat together. I think Chase ate 3 times more than Craig or I - lol!


Hope everyone had a very Happy Valentine's Day! I am certainly blessed to have so much love in my life.
