This Valentines Day did NOT turn out the way I had hoped, most of the family was sick, peyton had stayed home from school the 3 days before with a fever and cough, Ryley and Brandon were both coughing and not feeling well, and little man had some sort of tummy bug going on (now you know why I chose the title for this post ha!)… so the day was pretty uneventful, the kids went to school, I took brody up to the park to play for a bit to get out of the house, we gave the kids their Valentines gifts early this year because last Sunday my mom gave the kids all each a bag of surprises and goodies and so we decided they could use their stuff now so the girls got new lunch bags with goodies stuffed inside, ryley got points for his xbox live acct, and brody got a couple little sussy toys.
Bailey had to make her own Valentine box this year and had to be in a category, she picked a G rated movie.. so we made mater.. I thought it turned out pretty cute AND she even WON 1st place for her category!!!
poor little sick girl filling out her Valentine’s a few days before…
these were the girls teacher gifts this year.. my friend gave me the idea she found on pinterest…bailey has a guy teacher so hers is blue and peyton has a girl that’s why its pink! : )
grandma and grandpa came over that night and brought over the kids some valentines gifts and goodies, and me my birthday present…I bought a heart shaped pizza although most of us weren’t feeling well enough to even eat much of it.. I had planned on having sparkling cider and greek salad and ice cream for dessert but nobody even wanted anything else.
Even though this year it didn’t turn out the way I had planned I love a day focused on celebrating LOVE…what a sweet reminder it is of Christ’s LOVE for me and the blessing that He has given me in a family!!! It’s truly overwhelming! I LOVE my sweet family!!! …so much that it could never be “hid!”
(and this pic was taken the day before but I had to post it!) : )
