Valentine's Day 2020

I think I made it a few weeks in to January before I was decorating my house for Valentine's Day. Everything felt so bare after Christmas came down and red and pink are my kind of holiday colors. This ombre collection of bowls makes me smile!

This holiday was the start of the best thing about a leap year, so many holidays on Fridays! I made Liam and Lyla chocolate chip heart shaped waffles before preschool ...

And Liam came home with a bag filled with Valentines from all of his friends! He got to decorate his own bag and it could not fit him more perfectly, my little pirate who is obsessed with treasure and gems!

My happiest and spunkiest little Valentine ... we spent the morning playing together while Liam was away at preschool.

The kids were totally spoiled for Valentine's Day this year!! Not pictured ... a mug filled with candy and treats from Grams and Pa and gift bags with Valentine books, more candy, and a small toy for each from Sita!

Then when Liam got home from preschool, I let them open their Valentine boxes from their Papa and Grandma Dee in Pocatello. They just got home from a cruise and sent them outfits from their trip, along with enough candy and treats after their last surprises to last a lifetime. Liam kept calling that hat his cowboy hat and pretending to lasso a horse while running around the living room shouting "yee ha!". haha

He was absolutely blown away that his dinosaur card from them had his middle name in it and I turned my back for two second and Lyla had taken the liberty to rip open a fun dip all over my freshly mopped kitchen floor and lick it with her fingers from the bench. Face palm.

We watched Frozen 2 in the afternoon (a Valentine gift we downloaded earlier in the week) and waited for Nic to come home from work. He knows my love language well and got home at 2 in the afternoon. We were all so excited to see him home early! We let the kids open their Valentine surprises from us and both of their reactions were the cutest!

A dragon/scorpion lego ... 

He was not expecting it and so dang excited!!

Lyla girl opened a set of the Frozen 2 characters as new dolls for her dollhouse. 

But she was REALLY excited about the m&m's she found in her Valentine mailbox! haha

Lip suckers!

Nic got me those beautiful flowers to go with his early arrival ... best Valentine's Day! 

We had pizza for dinner, brownies for dessert, and after tucking our littlest Valentines into bed for the night, we stayed up and watched a new movie called Isn't it Romantic. Partly cheesy, partly sweet, mostly hysterical.

I love spending Valentine's Day with these 3 forever Valentines that I love so dang much! Happy Valentine's Day!!
