Valentine's Day 2016


     It has been a week since Valentine's and I have yet to document it. We had a super relaxed day, which I was 100% okay with. It was rainy outside and Connor and I were still jet lagged for arriving back form the states just 2 days prior.

       My day started at 10:30 when I was awoken by my sweet little guy with a not so gentle pat and a loud "Wake up mommy!" I opened my eyes and saw him with the biggest smile on his face and my hubby holding a tray with breakfast for me. Connor told me that he helped make me breakfast and then jumped into bed with me. The three of us ate together in bed. It was perfect!
    After taking my time getting out of bed, I left the boys upstairs to get their gifts ready. I managed to do a little shopping and stuff their small gifts into my luggage. Connor has been using his new wacky straw cup daily since Sunday.
     Aaron didn't have time to get me anything since he was gone for a month as well {which was totally fine}, so he told me he was going to take me to the mall to pick out a few things. We got a few family picture before we tried walking out the door, but Connor went into meltdown mode before we could get out of the house. We decided to skip the mall and take a nap instead. {Everyone who knows us knows we love our naps!}
Those eyes break my heart. When did he stop liking kisses!?!
My sweet Valentine's.
Connor's showing off his Valentine's craft {Memaw, Pepaw, Pappy, and Mimi, your have one coming in the mail} It says: I love you from the very bottom of my heart to the tips of my toes.
     After we woke up form a nap, we  just hung out. We watched movies and ate dinner. When I got a sweet tooth later in the evening, Aaron and Connor rushed to the kitchen to find something sweet for me. We hadn't done any major grocery shopping since either of us  got home, so the selection was limited. What they came up with was perfect. They unwrapped chocolate kisses, melted it in the microwave, and made me chocolate covered strawberries. The perfect Valentine's treat!
Connor kept saying, "Making mommy a treat!"
Connor was so proud of them!
    This Valentine's was probably the most laid back one that Aaron and I have celebrated, yet it was probably the most perfect. Seeing the joy on Connor's face as he helped Aaron make me things was just priceless.
