2016 Valentine's Recap

Grab a drink and sit down -- I'm not sure if it's because the kids are older or because we had a pretty open schedule, but we celebrated a lot this year! ;)  PS...many iPhone photos, so I apologize. 
--------------------------------- 
Thursday night the kids and I made strawberry cupcakes to take to daycare, a bunch of parts came for the Jeep, and Adam had practice with Mark.



I bought the kids some festive snack mix, a coworker brought gourmet cupcakes, & Adam had a big, beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered to me. 




Friday morning we dropped Cullyn off for tumbling and preschool and got to work on Jordyn's Valentine's box for her party at preschool {we had to stop at Aunt Ashley/Uncle Myles to use their glue gun}.

We snacked...


And packed everything for the kids' daycare party {Monday}


And had lunch...

That night after we put the kids to bed, Adam and I made a bunch of charcuterie and cuddled up in front of the fireplace to watch BURNT.

The 'after'
Saturday morning we went to the gym, hung out around home, and while everyone else took long afternoon naps, I took my first bubble bath in the new house and painted my nails before our friends Eric & Mallory came over for dinner and games later that evening. 





Lunch...

Waiting for our guests...  

{a part of} Dinner...

I let Adam sleep in on Sunday morning and made the kids breakfast before giving them their gifts.  We shoveled before going out for lunch as a family to Waterfront and then shopping for a table and chairs for our dining room {although we couldn't find one we liked} :(  We did find the most comfortable living room set ever {we may buy it today}.  We came home and ordered a heart shaped pizza from PapaJohns for dinner, eating it picnic style in the living room before renting The Martian and calling it a night. 










It was a wonderful weekend!
