laid back heart day

mama c. helped us whip us emma's little valentine day goodies for her classmates. you know emma has a thing for s'mores, so we were pinterest inspired, and it worked out perfectly!

emma had a whole bar full of goodies waiting on her when she got home from preschool. aunt charlotte sent us a whole box worth of fun with the lady & the tramp included.

from us, the kids got homemade playdough with glitter. they had a stack of cards from family too. hugs to aunt char & uncle steve, mama c. & papa, and aunt lindy & uncle dill for making their day special!

and, my sweet hubby brought home flowers too. miss emma even had her very own single stem pink rose.

the kids were dying to open their goodies, just too excited, as emma might say.

i think i had just as much fun as they did. and, i'm pretty sure i never made it to the shower that day :)

although, i did have on red sweat pants, so that counts, right?

we had dinner at home, nothing fancy. just stuffed red bell peppers for us and homemade pizza for the kids. chocolate covered strawberries were for dessert. i was trying to keep with the red theme :) although, can i say i used some homemade pesto for the kids' pizza, instead of pizza sauce, and it was hands down amazing! try it next time, it won't disappoint.

we ended the night with a valentine's day story.
