Valentine's Day 2012

This year was Nolan's first Valentine's Day and we wanted to make sure it was special :) Since the boys woke up at 4am (YIKES!) we were able to do presents in the morning with daddy. The boys got balloons, stuffed animals and new shirt/socks. They were excited about the balloons :)

The boys made daddy a handprint garden stone for him to put in his garden this spring. He loved it! Mommy got some yummy smelling bath gel and lotions - fun pamper stuff!

The best gift of all though were the hand prints Nana helped make with the boys for both Nick and I. They are so special and will give us something to look at down the road and remember how little they were! We hung the handprints in the hall next to their bedrooms so we can look at them everyday :)

That evening, instead of going out, we decided to start a new tradition and ordered the Papa Murphy's heart shaped pepperoni pizza :) It was delicious with the wine we opened and I made a special dessert using some port we got wine tasting a few years ago. It was a perfect, low key night with all of the family and reminded us what love is all about.

I am one lucky lady to have 3 wonderful Valentine's - thank you to my boys for making me feel so loved and special :)
