Love Day

We kept our Valentine's Day pretty low key.

I love doing little things to make any holiday a little more special and memorable.

Our garage is stuffed with totes that I have filled with special things for each holiday.

So today I pulled out all the plates, place mats, cups, ect.

For breakfast I made Chocolate chip banana pancakes.

Recipe here.

Michelle and Jordan both went off to school with their Valentines.

Jordan was having a party the last hour of his class so I went to that.

When I arrived I was the second parent there so they were able to start the party!

The class was divided into two groups and I took one group to the bouncy house.

After a while we switched and went to the play structure to play.

Then it was time to head back to the class room for passing out cards and snacks!

We kept our gifts for the kids simple this year.

Knowing they would get enough sugar and treats from school.

We just picked out an item for each child and a small treat.

For Michelle I picked out a t-shirt and tank top to layer.  

That apparently is all the style now.

For Jordan we got an angry bird toss game.

I love decorating for fun occasions.
I set to work as soon as the kids finished snack.

Jordan wanted to share his candy with everyone so he went around and placed one at each spot.
Michelle decided that was a nice idea so she too shared a piece of candy with everyone at the table.

When Josh came home he brought flowers for Michelle and I.
As Josh was handing Michelle her flowers Jordan was super excited because he thought the red roses were for him.  When Josh told him they were for me he got really sad.  So we pulled one out for him and put it in a little jar at his place.  He was very happy!

Josh was amazing and came home and jumped right into making dinner for us!

Steak, potatoes, and strawberry milk shakes!

After dinner we opened up cards and gifts!

My parents stopped by on their way home from dinner to visit.

Jordan got grampa to play some angry birds with him.

After they left we watched a snuggle show (the voice).

It was a nice, relaxed family evening.

Nothing fancy but alot of fun!
