I love holidays, but Blake and Evelyn are becoming even bigger fans of them. For weeks they’ve been asking when it’s going to be Valentine’s Day so we can have our party. They make life so fun. And I tried hard to deliver.

I was in charge this year (Brandon and I switch off each year). I made heart egg toast for breakfast since everyone LOVES it (but me). Then Blake and Evelyn were off to school with their Valentines in tow.

After they got home, we did our quick photo shoot all together. They weren’t super happy about this since cousins were coming, so maybe this is the last year we’ll pull this off. But I love getting in the photo with them anyway. Half way through Em and her kids showed up for the afternoon.

We had our heart pizza for dinner and then tried something new: FONDUE! It was a hit. The kids have been talking about it for days. Blake helped me pick out a new book for each of the children at his book fair a few weeks ago and we kept it a secret until Valentine’s Day. This is Evelyn’s new pose: She did it all on her own. That girl.

Then it was off to bed for the littles and a movie for mom and dad. I love love and celebrating with my family.
