Be My Valentine

Happy Valentine’s Day! It was a great one this year.

On Tuesday night, February 11th, I got home and Chris pulled me into our room and told me I had 10 minutes to pack. I looked at him confused. He had booked a night at the Garden of the Gods Resort! I quickly got ready and we headed to Marigold’s for dinner and then over to the Resort. Our room was amazing! The whole resort was just perfect and it was such a fun little midweek getaway. So great to have kids who can take care of each other and get to school without us. In the morning we had brunch at La Baguette and then headed home. Love my man and so grateful for this little marriage retreat.

A Valentine’s Package for Katie

We sent Katie a Valentine’s package with all things pink. Fun to get that ready for her.

Valentine’s for Matt’s Class

Matthew’s Valentine’s all ready for school. His last year passing our Valentine cards — which means MY last year printing out Valentine cards. Kind of sad. Love these ones… a whole mix of fun characters.

Matt’s 5th Grade Valentine’s Party

Luke and Matt were hanging out in their rooms for an hour and I had no idea that they were putting together this adorable little minion to collect all of Matt’s Valentine candy. So cute!

I brought cookies and volunteered at his 5th Grade Valentine’s Party. So fun to be there with him. Can’t believe we’re almost done with Elementary School. Last Valentine Party!!

Valentine Treats and A Love Language Quiz for the Kids

When the kids got home from school I had Valentine treats on the kitchen table and a LOVE LANGUAGE quiz ready for each of them. I think they had fun answering the questions and reflecting on their love languages.

Love Notes

Soon after our little discussion on Love Languages and my boys discovering that one of my love languages was Words of Affirmation… I started to receive little notes. First was this one taped to my phone. Over the next couple of days I found them everywhere. I pretty much knew they were from Luke and his little clues confirmed it. Love that boy and his tender heart.

Valentine’s from Sister Johnson

So fun to get a pink envelope in the mail from Sister Johnson. She’s the sweetest!! Each of the kids got their own little note.
