Derick and I are not very big Valentine's Day people. We like to do something nice for each other, but we don't go crazy spending money or go out to eat or anything. I do like to make it fun though.
For breakfast? Heart-shaped pancakes, of course!
For Dinner? When we were dating, we had dinner at his house with his parents and we had BBQ ribs. That started a tradition of grilling on Valentine's Day! We got a grill for our wedding, but couldn't take it with us to VA. We recently brought it up to UT and are so excited to have it back! Derick has become quite the grilling machine. Everything is so good. For V-Day he made lemon pepper chicken. Delish!
He is also wearing his V-Day gift. I made him an apron for grilling.
My V-Day gift was this window. It's an antique from the 1940s and we found it online last week and snatched it up for a steal. It did have all of the glass panes in it, but we took them out for the makeover. Derick spent a lot of time on Saturday sanding it down for me and taking out the glass. I painted it white and have plans for the openings. Why, you ask? Well, it's going to make the cutest headboard! Just wait and see. Our bedroom is my next big project. I am so excited.
With my little Valentine.
Lincoln with his V-Day gift. We made it a tradition to give our kids a book for every holiday (the major ones) and birthday. I am loving that tradition so far.
Ok, so Lincoln isn't quite a year yet, but he will be in less than 2 weeks (!!!!) and I was dying to flip his car seat around. So we did it. I think I was more excited than anyone. I was seriously giddy about it. Here he is when we went out to get our V-day treat (shakes from our favorite burger place). He doesn't look thrilled b/c he was pretty tired, but trust me. He was excited.
Hope you all had a good V-Day!

Love the Valentine gifts... and "Love you forever" is one of my very most favorite books!
Happy V-day to you all! Derick I have pics of David-He did it-the hot tub and the snow!!!!
We miss you guys too. Things just aren't the same here, but my day to day is a million times more enjoyable. I can't believe Lincoln will be 1 soon. Wish we could be there for that!
Oooh so excited to see the headboard! I bet it will look so good!
I got that book for Collin for Christmas and I still can't read it without crying. Ha ha.
I heard that they want to change the law so that babies have to stay facing backwards until they are 2!!! I think that would be so cruel and babies like yours and mine wouldn't fit ha ha ha.
My doctor says to stay rear facing till they are 2 because it is so much safer but we definitely didn't do that with Londyn and not with Maverick either. We bought his car seat a week ago and he loves the new toddler one. It would be hard to wait so long to do that because they wanna see what's going on and see their parents in the front seats! What a cutie he is! Glad it was a good V day!
I LOVE when they switch to a forward facing car seat! He looks like such a big boy in his big boy seat!
Happy Valentines!! :)
