We had a fantastic Valentine's Day! Lots of treats, some flowers, GIANT cards, tiny cards, a delicious meal, and a few surprises! Bailey had doughnut holes with a note that read "DONUT you know that we love you a HOLE bunch!" and Morgan had a heart-shaped waffle. I made their cards and Morgan's was a little owl and Bailey's was inspired by a book I read her over and over and over again as a kid, "The Day it Rained Hearts." And the best part? Before her bedtime, Bailey asked me to read the book to her!!! I was completely elated that my sweet 11-year-old had the time in her day and her heart for her mama to read her a story! It's a memory I will hold dear forever!
Chris decided at the last minute that w
e were going out to dinner at a restaurant that's not my favorite but that's close to home since Bailey was babysitting. Morgan is going through a bit of a whiny phase so, by the time Chris got home from work, I was DELIGHTED that we were going out. The wait was an hour, but we had reservations (thanks, hon!!) so we only waited about 15 minutes, so the night was already off to a magical start!! We had a sweet little table for two near the fireplace and I was sipping a mojito. Ahhhhhhh, exhale!! We had a delicious dinner and dessert and got the chance to really talk & enjoy each other's company. It was wonderful and so desperately needed!!
See you soon!!
Yesterday, we went as a family to a dear, sweet friend's 90th birthday party. It was precious! She was beautiful and so excited to be surrounded by friends and family! Our girls were dressed to the nines; Bailey in her prettiest red sweater dress and Morgan in a new blue & white gingham bubble with smocked gumball machines. She even wore her red flowered headband for awhile - so adorable, I could hardly stand it!! What a blessing to celebrate a life richly lived with those people who richly bless my life.
