Happy Valentine's Day!

February 14th, 2014

I usually pride myself on sending cards on the "less significant" holidays, but this year {excuses, excuses} time got a little ahead of me.  Weeks of sick children didn't help matters.  This picture was take "pre-sickness" with the intention of sending it out as a card:

Happy Valentine's Day!

Christian and Lindalee were excited to open their Valentine gifts.  Superhero clothes and preschool workbooks for Christian.  Bows, headbands, and workbooks {stickers and a notepad} for Lindalee.

My sweet little valentines.

My little heart breaker!

Really, does it get any cuter than this?

Lindalee consumed by her book on the ride to New Hampshire.

A big part of the reason for this Valentine's Day being so special for me was that we had the chance to stop and visit some of the people we love the most.  

Great Nana wasn't feeling well, but I couldn't tell.  A surprise visit from Lindalee and Christian perked her up.

Next stop was the Northwood Garage:

Lindalee devoured her Valentine's Day cupcake in record speed.  Christian thought it was pretty hilarious.

Sugar!

Christian showing off the Valentine Lindalee made for Papa.

Lindalee was very excited to give Meme her flowers.  The day before when we picked them up at the store, I asked Lindalee what Meme would say when she got her flowers.  Lindalee replied, "Meme, happy!".  She was right, they did make Meme happy {thought I think the cute visitors had more to do with it than the flowers}.

Another stop at Great Grammie and Grampie's.  The kids, and Zoe, didn't want to leave.

And finally!  We made it to Meme and Papa's house!

Lindalee loved her Valentine gift.  She was very serious about it.

Christian also seemed to enjoy parts of Lindalee's Valentine's gift.

Valentine's Day "poop party".  Yes, our children are weird, very weird.

So thankful for a Valentine's Day filled lots of love and the two sweetest gifts I could ever ask for!
