Will you be my Valentine?

I have to laugh...in writing this post I realized Jeff and I didn't take a single picture together on Valentine's Day. Oh how things change when you have children!
We've decided, though, to do something small for each other on V-day but really OUR day is our anniversary. And Valentine's Day is our chance to celebrate with the other loves of our lives:  the kiddos!

The boys definitely had made up their minds as to the kind of boxes they wanted for school.  I had to get my creative juices flowing to figure out how to make a stegasaurus & pteranadon.  (The latter of which has never been made in blogdom, so I was on my own!!!) The boys helped and it turned out to be super fun, and pretty darn awesome, if I do say so myself!

Callen's first Valentine's Day!!  


Oh these little heartbreakers.  I am so glad they are mine:


Our delicious dessert:

In keeping with tradition, we celebrate Valentine's Day as the Day of the Book & the Rose.
The kiddos get a book (and small treat) from us. This has become a favorite tradition that we all look forward to.  For the sake of saving $, Jeff & I committed to reading a book we already own that has yet to be read.   


We are a bunch of book-lovers over here!

And Callen really just likes to eat them:


I had to get a shot with  my little love, how this kiddo melts my heart:


Story time with daddy:

Jeff surprised me with a stunning bouquet of roses & this delicious cupcake. 
I enjoyed every last crumb!

Happy Valentine's Day from this little family of mine!
