Happy Turkey....er....Valentine's Day

Levi drew turkeys on some of his Valentine cards. His explanation was pretty much priceless: "This is a boy turkey like me, and they have GREAT courtship dances!"
Well, alrighty then. Who knew turkeys were more than just a Thanksgiving thing?

We had a super lovely Valentine's day complete with balloons, cards, presents, lunch with BawBaw and Nanno, cookie making, game playing, and a nap for the littlest one (the first in a couple of days...teething is rough). The kids declared it to be the very best Valentine's Day ever.

Hope y'all had a wonderful and love filled day as well!

Yesterday...In Mostly Photos

French toast, strawberries, mama-made hearts, cards exchanged, a lunch date...just the two of us (thanks, Mom), flowers from my love, a nap, tea and knitting in bed, topped off by a yummy supper made by my favorite Valentine.
I don't think it could have been any better.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope y'all have a day full of joy and love!

Love Is In The Air

As most of the world seems to be getting ready for Valentine's Day, I'm still plugging away at getting ready for our wedding!  Unless Stephan has something crazy up his sleeve (unlikely, considering the insane number of hours he's had to work the past few weeks), then Valentine's day is going to be pretty low key around here.  I see sleeping in and a family date to a restaurant of Levi's choosing in our future.
Of course, amidst all the preparations, I've still managed to sneak in a little Etsy Valentine's Day window shopping.  You wanna see what I've found?  :)

I thought these were pretty darn adorable for the little munchkin...although, with a heart shaped muffin tin and our ten million broken crayons, we could totally conjure them up on our own....

But, these....these are brilliant....I want some...How fun would it be to draw with a mustache?

I also think Levi needs this shirt...maybe next year when I'm more on top of things and it might actually get here in time for Valentine's day...But, really, wouldn't he be adorable?

As far as stuff for me,  I don't need a thing.  I'll be hitched to my best friend.  I have the cutest little boy I've ever laid eyes on.  I have a brand spanking new sewing machine (okay, so it's still waiting at the Bernina store for a part to come in....Ack!)....a new computer...and a new camera!  Me thinks I could currently be classified as quite spoiled.  But, if you insist on seeing a few other things that I could totally go all "Oooooh!" and "Aaaaaah!" over, well here you go...only because you twisted my arm... ;)

I think this is so incredibly lovely....

 

And this makes me go all "Aawwwww!!"...

And, well, I wouldn't be at all upset if Stephan secretly snuck a thumbprint from me and showed up with this...

Hmmm...now for Stephan...I'm thinking a terrarium kit like this one would be pretty fabulous....especially since he loves to garden, but oops we bought a house with zero sunlight in the yard.  Oh. my. what are two gardeners to do?  I suppose we could always hack away a few trees.

So, anything making you all swoony this time of the year?

Loads Of Love

I hope y'all have a super fabulous Valentine Weekend full of loads of love!

Graffiti Love

I know it's not Valentine's day yet, but I'm totally in the spirit of it. I've already been decking the halls with hearts and dreaming about when Levi can wield a pair of scissors to chop out hearts of his own. Oh, the fun we're going to have. But, right now I'm kind of enjoying having control over the scissors, and obviously the drawing tools on the photo editor....
