day 331 (2): happy valentine's day

After the boys went to school, Lexie and I came home and had a Valentine's breakfast together.  She requested pink scrambled eggs so we had those along with some pink milk!

Happy Valentine's Day!

valentine's day

We don't normally do anything big for Valentine's Day (other than our traditional fajitas for dinner) but we decided that since Jacob will be deployed next year, we'd make a bigger deal about it this year.

the Valentine's surprises

It's a little blue box!! :)

Ohhh!!!!

Such a pretty necklace!!

Now it's Jacob's turn....

Lexie was getting impatient so she climbed onto the table!

And Nick took her spot. :)

I wonder what it is?!?!?

Ben was thoroughly enjoying the festivities!

This looks pretty cool!

It's a Kindle... which I'm sure will come in handy during the deployment!

Sweet Nicholas ♥

Happy Valentine's Day from our house to yours!!

breakfast in bed (or on the table)

Nick came home from school earlier this week with the idea that he was supposed to make me breakfast in bed on Valentine's Day. He told me ALL about it and then reminded me not to say anything because it was supposed to be a surprise. So this morning, Nick, along with Christopher, Ben, Lexie, and Jacob, got up and made breakfast.

Nick was convinced that ants on a log are an integral part of breakfast in bed.

I was surprised that Lexie was able to make one- although she ate most of the peanut butter herself!

Christopher helped Jacob make the eggs! YUM!!

The finished product: French toast, waffles, ants on a log, eggs with sausage, coffee and chocolate milk. No- I didn't eat it all! :)
