ODUS 2.0 vol 11: HAPPY HEARTS DAY

Oh Valentine's Day.

I think I've mentioned before that neither Tim or I have ever been real big on this holiday.  
But having two cute little girls to get you into the spirit of things has made it a little easier the past couple of years to get a little more motivated about it.  And it fell on a Sunday this year even, which is a family day already.  So, it only seemed natural to spread a little love.

It actually started a day or two before when the girls got an awesome Valentine's box from MawMaw and Aunt Amy complete with treats, stickers, and cuddle buddies!  They were in heaven!


The Friday before Valentine's day Brinlee's Joy School group did a little party with a Valentine's exchange.  I let Brinlee browse Pinterest with me and she decided she just had to make these.  And wouldn't you know, we actually had all the stuff!  Brinlee colored the clips, filled the candy bags, put the clips on the candy bags, and wrote her name on all the notes all by herself.  They turned out darling, and she was over the moon proud of them.


On Valentine's day Sunday, our church was actually cancelled (something about frozen pipes?), so we went to a 9:00 sacrament meeting in another building and then scuttled on home to enjoy the day together.  It was quiet, relaxing, lazy, and perfect!  We had heart shaped pizza (special request from Brinlee), decorated dishes, pink cupcakes, and all made possible by my two little counter-top cooking companions.  Love my little Valentines!


One morning I was getting some clean sheets on our bed, and the sun was shining awesome through the window, and the girls were actually dressed for once, and I was trying to get myself into the Valentine's Day spirit anyway and had a few fun things lying around, and I thought to myself, "Self, the camera has been a little neglected lately, why don't we try to see if we can get a couple cute pictures of these darling girls!" And so, that's exactly what we did.  And what do you know?  We did end up with a couple cute ones!


Hope your Valentine's Day was fun-filled and magical!
