This year our Valentine's Day was extra sweet. I'm normally not a big into Valentine's person. I honestly do not care if my husband gets me a gift, for me my best memories of Valentine's are classroom parties, being surprised by my parents, and just getting date time with Ryan. This year though I decided to do a surprise Valentine's Day breakfast for my family. We actually did this on Saturday because I knew Ryan would be gone too early for church on Sunday.
I had too much fun setting up this sweet breakfast. On Friday night I picked up donuts and some festive table decor. I even found gluten free donuts for me!!! Hooray for being part of the gang.
I don't know why, but I really liked this frog balloon...like it seriously cracked me up every time I looked at it. Also featured: strawberry milk, heart shaped bacon, and strawberries. Eva and Jensen already had all the books on the table but I displayed them so we could read together over breakfast.
Oooh, look at that belly! Jensen got his first tiny bite of donut. I could squeeze him all day long.
Kisses from sister.
Sweet children in their jammie jams.
Saturday afternoon we had a babysitter for a couple of hours so we treated ourselves to the foot reflexology place and early dinner at Cristina's.
Finally this happened on Sunday night. Ryan surprised Eva by asking her to be his date. They got all dressed up and he actually rang the doorbell for her to answer and he gave her a rose.
She was thrilled. When I was helping her get ready she kept saying, "Maybe Daddy will dress like Superman. Or Batman. Or Spiderman." I realized she thought that since she got to wear a princess dress he must be wearing a costume too. When she answered the door and he was in his suit she said, "Daddy, you look like a different man!" Ha! I guess he doesn't dress formal very often.
My wonderful loves. This was really my favorite Valentine's Day ever and I'm excited for new traditions that we've started.
