Valentine's Day 2015

It's that time of year again to get your Valentine Card ideas rolling. I am exciting to do something creative for my stepson to take to school. I will, of course, need his "official" approval, but for now I have a few ideas running around in my head from Pinterest. I cannot wait to share with you the winner! Hopefully, I will have more blog posts before then to share. :)

Valentine's Day

This is a little late, but I thought I'd still share our Valentine festivities, which just included eating a yummy steak dinner, pigging out on sugar, and watching Game of Thrones and Dexter.

Jon got me flowers and a much needed gift certificate for a massage. It's weird what a bunch of extra weight in your uterus does to your back. Tulips are "our" special flowers. I actually have never particularly loved tulips, but when we were dating, Jon kept buying them for me, because I would say I loved them. One day, I finally confessed that I hated tulips, but I had received so many tulips at that point that whenever I see tulips, I think of my husband. So they're our special flower.

Jon made us some delicious steak for dinner! All the sides were my doing, but it definitely wasn't the highlight. The steak was fabulous! He cooked it well done per pregnancy rules, but next year we'll have to do medium rare. 

 Overall, we had a fun day, and we had the kind of Valentine's day that we needed: low key, intimate, at home, and quiet!

Kids' Valentine's Day Cards

Last year I did handmade Valentine's Day cards for Micah's class for the first time! I got the idea from pinterest, and found the blog here. So cute!!!! Mine are a little different than the original blog post, but that site has the file for "Our class would knot be the same without you."

This year I will ask Micah about what kind of Valentine's cards he'd like to give out. I know he prefers cool character ones that you buy at the store, but if we do something handmade, I will post the end results!
