Valentine Day Love

There was a lot of love passed around in our home this Valentine's Day.  I mean, it's already beaming with love, but maybe there was a little bit extra this particular day.

Don't think for one second that Evie wasn't all dressed up for the day, because she totally was!

Happy Valentine's Day!
That very afternoon we got a little visit from the Valentine's Man.  What?  He doesn't come to your house?  You probably need to be a little nicer if you want him to come.  It's totally worth it because he leaves little treats that are filled with love.  He's sneaky too.  He usually leaves those love-filled treats on the door step, rings the doorbell, and then vanishes from sight.  It doesn't matter how fast we answer the door, he just disappears too quickly.

Beau & I got GIANT chocolate-dipped strawberries.  YUM!
Evie Doll got a puppet board book and a GIANT chocolate kiss.
Evie is definitely the highlight of our home.  Everyone said that once you have kids, nobody cares to visit you anymore . . . they just want to see your cute babies/kids.  Well, today was of no exception.  Her grandparents showered her with tons of love!

Grandma Debbie & Grandpa Kay drove all the way out to see this little love bug.
Grandma Ellie & Grandpa George made SURE to stop by for  hugs.
And even Evie's BG (Birth Grandmother) sent her a special Valentine.
 A unique event also happened on Valentine's Day for our little family.  We closed on our new home.  We signed all the paperwork and we now officially own a new place.

I will also say that I have the sweetest Valentine.  Back when we first met, it just so happened to be February 13.  That was the date of our very first date to the symphony.  So, we like to celebrate V-Day on the 13th of February every year because it TOTALLY means something to us (and it is quite convenient when going out because there are no crazy crowds).  Well, my handsome Beau came home from work yesterday and told me to get my coat on because he had lined up a babysitter (thank you Chance & Jamie) and he was taking me out for the night.  He presented me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and out the door we went.  We ended up going to dinner at Ruby River (one of my favorite steak houses).  We also made a stop by the Sweet Tooth Fairy for some cake bites.  While I ALWAYS miss my Evie when we're apart, it was so nice to spend some quality time with the man I love.  It's been 9 years since we first met and guess what, I love him more than ever!  I'm a blessed girly!

And, Valentine's Day eventually came to a close and we all went to bed.  But, our love still lives on.

Goodnight Valentine Kisses
