{Valentines 2012}

In our house, we celebrate holidays big time! We craft, we decorate...the kids definitely love it.
The kid's school was offering a parents night out the weekend before valentines, so I even had a date night with my Valentines. We had a lovely dinner at McCormick & Schmick and even managed to squeeze in a cup of latte at Cafe Intermezzo. The morning before our date, I ran the Chattahoochee challenge. This is not the most flattering picture...but I just completed a 10K in the frigid 30 degree temp, as part of my 12 months a racing goal. I ran this race in 1:05:05. Not bad. Getting closer to my other goal of running races slightly faster. Back to valentines... we had so much with creating Valentines craft this year.
Samantha handed out butterfly pops to her class.
and William gave all his Valentines peeps this goodie :)
We love all their teachers and will take every opportunity to tell them how much we appreciate them!
The kids also had a great time working on their Valentines boxes.
Princess castle for Samantha and a robot for William.
We've been reading some Valentines theme books. Samantha snuggled Riley with her blankies. If you know how much Samantha loves her blankies, then you know that she loves Riley that much for her to snuggle him with it.
We celebrated Valentines day with an intimate family dinner at Five Seasons Brewery. There were plenty of other couples celebrating as well. We were so proud on how well behaved the kids were and it allowed other people to enjoy this special day! Hope y'all had a great Valentines.
