Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s day is a big day around here. Shadd was awake at 3:30 in the morning working on decorating the dining room light and distributing his Valentine cards to everyone’s bed. He wanted to make sure that he was the first one to pass his out. (Isn’t this so sweet? Shadd's sweet decorations... see picture to the left!)

My little girls could hardly contain their excitement as they waited and asked every two minutes, “is it time to go to the party yet??” They had been invited to a Valentine Party at a sweet friends house and were beyond excited. (Thank you Rose Ann!! You’re wonderful!) They ate lots of yummy treats and did an adorable project. My friend Rose Ann is so crafty and clever!

When we came home my honey had donned an apron and was in the kitchen whipping up an amazing cake and working on his annual Valentine dinner for us. Many years ago he claimed this as his night to fix us dinner. Every year he asks me what I would like, this year I chose fajitas. (I try to make it something not to hard for him. lol I guess I should get him a more manly apron for his annual cooking night so he won’t have to wear the girl’s apron. )

My sweet inlaws came over for a while and brought the kids cards and chocolate. I should mention that by this time my girls were on a pretty good sugar high. These are the same little girls who don’t eat all to much sugar…This is going somewhere so stay posted.

Dinner was amazing and the cake was incredible. Layers of chocolate with cherry filling and homemade frosting…I had no idea my man could cook like this, of course it has taken 21 years to perfect this!

During dinner we listened to a playlist Shaylah created of love songs. After dinner we talked Shaylah into playing her guitar for us. Put an apron on Shannen and help out! Notice his awesome shirt?

Our table all prettied up!

So remember when I said stay posted? On the way home from the Valentine party a certain little girl was pounding away all her candy when I warned her she may want to go easy or she would end up feeling icky later……

This same little girl ended up with a terrible tummy ache and felt like she was going to throw up. After hanging her head over the toilet for a while she finally fell asleep…………………………………………………………

A good day was had by all…I think!

Happy Valentine’s Day!!
