Valentines Day 2012

I love Valentines Day! I love that there is a holiday dedicated to Love. Isn't love what makes the world go round? I think it's fantastic to take a day and tell others you love them, plus aren't little valentines for kids so cute?!
I woke up to breakfast in bed this morning. Kirk was super sweet and made me French toast in the shape of a heart. We obviously aren't very practiced on the breakfast in bed routine because he spilled syrup on he carpet and I spilled it all over our bed, perhaps it is something we need to do more often?
We made cupcakes for Kirstens class at school. Kirk worked from home so Audrey stayed home with him and I was able to spend about 20 minutes with Kirsten at school. She loves school so much, so it was fun to see the little boys she interacts with everyday. She loved having her mom there and I loved being there, I wish I could be there everyday to see what she is learning.
Afterwards Kirk and Audrey met us at mcDonalds. Karen sent the girls a gift certificate for McDonalds for Valentines. The girls love the parfaits and were very excited to go there for lunch.
The afternoon was full of naps, Kirk working, and me finishing up Kirks valentine gift. I made him a book of the alphabet with a memory written down for each letter. I can't wait to give it to him and hope he loves it.
We made a delicious meatball soup, homemade rolls, and chocolate cake with strawberries for dinner. Let's just say we have full happy bellies tonight!
Kirk bought the girls these cute flowers and heart shaped balloons. He is such cute dad to our princesses. They were so excited, Audrey insisted on napping with her balloon. The girls sure are lucky to have a dad who loves them so much.
After the girls were in bed Kirk and I gave each other our gifts. Kirk wrote me the cutest poem about cupid and us and it was just the best. He is so creative and talented. His poems are my favorite part about every holiday. He also went to France and brought me back chocolates for valentines day. He loved the book I made him, saying he wants to make a copy to take on trips with him. We played the newly we'd game and watched How I Met Your Mother on Netflix. It was a fun casual evening where we both felt very loved. The perfect end to valentines day.
