Valentine's Day

These two boys had fun picking out what to do for their valentines this year.  Asher went with a sports theme, while Beck wanted a planet one (he's been learning about the solar system at preschool).  We all had fun making them, and the boys came home with tons of treats, hearts, candy, notes, toys and smiles.  All in all a fun day of l'amour! Corey treated me to a beautiful bouquet of flowers (shame on him...we did a night away instead of gifts this year!), which were beautiful and smelled as good.

 

Last year we started something with Aaron and Meagan where we switch off taking each other's kids for a night out for Valentine's Day.  This year we went to Santa Fe for a night at our favorite Bed and Breakfast, Las Palomas.  We actually stayed at this place one Valentine's Day before we had kids!  They have adorable southwestern Casitas with fireplaces, saltillo tile, kitchens, bathrobes, etc.  So cute and romantic. For Dinner, we found a quaint little restaurant off the plaza that was recommended to us by the man who checked us in. To top it off, Cor had reservations for us at 10,000 Waves a fab little Japanese Spa tucked away in the hills above Santa Fe, where we had our own Japanese soaking tubs, sauna, etc.  It was relaxing, decadent, romantic and wonderful!  We did a little perusing around the plaza too, but mostly just cozied up in our casita and enjoyed the time away.  Wonderful night and wonderful husband for getting it all together!

 These last two pictures are a couple I thought were fun from a little storm we had in early February.  We get snow so seldom that a dusting of snow makes for a morning of wonder and awe.  The boys just stared out my bedroom window at the winter wonderland before them...then Beck and I made a snow bear that morning (Ash had school, boo).  We had to take a picture quick because Dion wanted to scarf for himself!
