Valentine's Day 2013

I've never really been the type to get into holidays.  However, I decided this year that since I'm home all day and have a kid who will someday enjoy holidays that I want to put a little more effort into them.  Still nothing huge, just a few little details for fun.  Also, seeing a million ideas on Pinterest provides easy motivation and ideas.  Here is how we celebrated Valentine's day this year!

I may or may not have put up the decorations in mid January....

Then on valentine's morning I surprised Brett with a little breakfast treat

It was actually an orange juice for breakfast, but I forgot to take a picture before he drank it.

Brooke helped me make this card for daddy.

I'm not a huge fan of spending money of cut flowers that just end up dying in a few days.  Especially around holidays when they are even more over-priced.  So instead Brett got me some hanging plants for our back porch.  And luckily, I haven't killed them yet.

 And of course we had a fun photo shoot with this sweet little valentine.

She tackled the dog and then "kissed" it.  Hopefully that behavior won't continue later in life when she starts liking boys!  

Brett had to work late on the actual holiday so we had our "romantic dinner for 3" on Saturday.

Overall, it was a great success!
