Valentines Day

 

 

Lovers holiday was here once again.

Feb. 13th I found myself in the longest line for chocolate that I've ever seen.

Casey prefers treats over presents.

So I hopped in that line to get my Valentine one of his favorites, peanut brittle.

Nut's and Chew's have nothing on the peanut brittle.

Well worth the wait!

 

I bake sugar cookies once a year.

Usually the Sunday before Valentines day.

And every year I forget that I lost my heart shaped cookie cutter! Argh!!

Circle shaped, with pink frosting and red sprinkles left over from Christmas will have to do.

 



 

My sister Stephanie is really amazing and sends Valentine packages in the mail

for the boys from their cousins. And this year Lindi got a package from Olive!!

She hearts her heart antennas!!

Valentines morning I woke up to the counter covered in my favorite candy

and this poem written by Casey.

His poems are my favorite!
Shakespeare better watch out!

He proposed to me on Valentines day with a poem

so when he writes them for me I get all giddy:)
I will share a little bit of it with you...

 

 

Aaaaand the best part, we actually got to go out ALONE for Valentines day!

He surprised me and lined out a babysitter for a night out on the town.

What a guy!!

Thanks Marcie for watching the kiddos.

We got pedicures, got our favorite nachos from Nando's, shopped at Hobby Lobby,

then ended with some Bahama Bucks!

Some how my family got in on a group text and started sending pictures of what we were

doing that night with our special Valentines.

gotten the 2 pics that I did to send in the group text!
