Day of Love

Valentine's Day for us this year was very low key.  I find that the longer we have been together, and now with kids in the mix, we tend to have simple Valentine's Days, and that is all right with me.  We love just being together.  This year was low key partially due to the fact that life just seems a little chaotic lately.  V-Day fell right in between Cameron's two days of school.  Plus he has been very busy at work, so I was just grateful that we got to have him home that night.

During the day, I had to have the kids dress for the occasion.  Landon was an equal opportunity love bug, showing his affection for both mom and dad.  :)



These days when I ask Miley to take a picture I get some combination of these...




My goofy little girl.  :)  At least I was able to get a couple cute pictures of Miley and Landon together.  But then Miley started tickling Landon, and that was the end of the normal pictures.  But I will take the laughing ones any day.






We gave Landon and Miley each a small gift - a sock monkey and a Valentine's Day book.  I think the monkeys were definitely a hit.



Miley got to have her very first school party this year.  We made superhero sucker valentines for her class, and then Landon and I got to join her for the last half hour to help her read her valentines from her class.


Cameron came home a little early from work with Chipotle in hand (aren't we romantic??) and flowers for me AND Miley.  To say Miley was excited to have her own bouquet this year is a bit of an understatement.





Once the kids were in bed, Cameron and I got to watch Breaking Dawn (he's so nice to watch it with me!), and some Arrested Development on Netflix, our current obsession.  It was a great night, and day, and I am so grateful for all of the sweet Valentine's in my life.

Dude, I am ALL about the low key Valentines day, especially with kids! I have no desire to pay out the nose for a babysitter and then fight the crowds to try to eat out somewhere! I think it's great you guys went low key, we did the same! Love Landon's equal opportunity love shout outs : ) What a cute onsie!! Also Miley's goofy little faces were cracking me up. Such a cutie! Props to Cam for getting flowers for both of you! Taber did the same and the girls were in heaven. We married the biggest studs, ain't gonna lie! : )

Our Valentines day was very low key this year (as in, I didn't do anything for Kipp) as we thought we would be in the hospital! Love the kids Valentines day attire... at least one of us did something February-worthy for next years calendar. Miley sure does look like she loves her brother, and how cute that Cameron got Miley her own roses!
