Valentine's Day

The boys were super excited that Valentine's Day was almost here!  They made Valentine's crafts with Nana last week, and Minnie sent them a Valentine's puppet craft to do this week.  So much fun!
After their school Valentine's Day parties, Daddy picked them up and headed to get Mommy a special Valentine flower.  I understand there was quite a bit of debate over which flower Mommy would like.  Lincoln and Beau just couldn't agree!  Daddy stepped in and all were happy with the chosen gift!  Of course, the boys fought about who would carry it to pay and to the car, but they were happy to take turns in the end. 
Mommy brought home their favorite pizza from Carmine's and their favorite cupcakes from Stein's.  Super yummy Valentine's Dinner at our house!!  I love my flowers and will do my best to keep them alive, although I definitely don't have a green thumb!  After dinner, we had a few fun presents to open.  Among the gifts were new Crocs from Nana and Pops, fun treats from Minnie and Bubbles, and Batman and Curious George Tshirts from Mom and Dad.  The boys loved all of their Valentine treats, but I think the most favorite gift of all was from Aunt Patsy.  She sent them (money for) new flashlights, which is their most favorite thing right now!   
They had so much fun examining Daddy's throat with their new flashlights!  Oh my goodness, the giggles were too much! 
Beau had to go back for more fun . . . he couldn't stop shining his light at Daddy and erupting in massive laughter!  If anyone ever needs to give a gift to Lincoln and Beau, a set of flashlights and batteries is a sure winner! 
Mommy sneaked in an extra fun gift of new sunglasses, and the boys are crazy obsessed with them now.  I wouldn't dare get in the car without making sure their sunglasses weren't securely placed on their heads.  They love looking super cool with their shades! 
A fun Valentine's Day was had by all..  It was laid back but loving.  Linc and Beau had so much fun making Valentine's crafts, and they really had fun eating yummy pizza and cupcakes with presents to boot!  These little guys keep everything fun for us.  I couldn't ask for a better Valentine's Day.
