Valentine's Day

This is the first year in a long time that we have been with Ben on actual Valentine's Day.  We did a few fun things to celebrate.  We made cupcakes and Valentine's to share with friends.  The squadron had a play group, so Rhone got to make his first Valentine Box (well we used a can) to get Valentine's in.  We had fun eating treats and playing with friends at the party.  Our friend was so sweet and offered to watch Rhone on Valentine's since her husband was on a mission.  We got takeout from our favorite Indian place and ate it at home while we watched a movie.  We even had the handy man stop in to give us an estimate on repairs.  Super romantic :)  I made some photo mugs for Ben and Rhone and Ben got me 2 books.  We had such a fun time being together and celebrating the love of our little family.

Rhone's mug is his special cookie dunking cup and Ben's has a picture of him flying the C-5

What a fun crowd of kiddos.
The night be fore Valentine's Rhone helped me make one of Ben's favorite dinners, Chicken Courdon blue with mashed potatoes and gravy.

What a fun Valentine's day. My kids got Red Oatmeal and Milk, and a box of chocolates for breakfast. Shawn got me some beautiful Lily's. The evening was hectic and mostly involved Makae, so we didn't celebrate it much. But it was a nice day all in all. I love the pictures. rhone is getting so big.
