Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a great Valentine's Day weekend at our house. On Friday, Anniston had her Valentine's party at her school. We got "Princess and the Frog" valentines to give to her classmates and tucked Smarties inside. Mommy wrote the names of her Anniston's friends, and Anniston wrote her name on all of the Valentine's...that was a total of 15 times! We are so proud of her. Here's one of her Valentine's she did (we have some work to do on our "S"...those are tricky, according to Anniston!) :At her party, they had Ice cream sundaes and made a valentine's headband. Here's a picture of Anniston with one of her best buddies, Baylor:

Mommy and Anniston:

That evening, Aunt Courtney stayed with us at our house. She was in town for a bridal shower. Anniston and Treyson both went NUTS when she walked in the door. Anniston put on quite a little performance for her after Treyson went to bed.

Saturday morning, Mommy and the kiddos gave Dadoo his Valentine's present. A big cookie cake from the Cookie Company (Dadoo's favorite). I didn't take a picture before, and now there's only a small part left, so you'll just have to imagine. Dadoo then gave Anniston and Mommy their Valentine's present:

Dadoo has gotten Mommy roses every Valentine's Day for 15 years (and he's arranged them himself almost all of those years except for when I was living in Little Rock), and this year he gave Anniston a rose too. Anniston told him it's because we are both his princesses, and I think she's right. I already feel sorry for the man that she meets in the future. Dadoo's setting a very high standard for her!!

Saturday evening, Mrs. Amber kept the kids for us and Jerry and I went out to celebrate Valentine's day. He took me to Carrabas Italian restaurant for dinner, and then we went to see "When in Rome" afterwards. It was so nice to be able to escape to have a nice dinner and chat (mostly about the kids) over a bottle, yes, bottle of wine (we don't do this very often!!).

Sunday morning Anniston sang at church. She was SO excited to perform for all of her family that came to watch her. Thank you Aunt Robin, Uncle Mike, Meredith, Ryan, Nanny, PawPaw R, Aunt Courtney, MeMaMa, MaMa, and PaPa for coming to watch Anniston sing. She is still talking about all of you being there to watch her!

After church, we all headed to Monte Ne Chicken to enjoy their southern family style dinner. It was so tasty, and we were all stuffed. Then we came back to our house and the grandparents had Valentine's for the kids. They opened their gifts, and then we tried to get some pictures. However, it was already an hour or two past our normal naptime, and Treyson was NOT happy!! Dadoo then made his traditional Valentine's Day dinner later that evening. Steaks and grilled lobster tails....yummmmmy! We went to bed stuffed, stuffed, stuffed!

Happy Valentine's Day to everybody!
