Valentine's Day

we started our Valentine's Day celebration at our local rec center where there was a kid's event going on.

diedre loves the parachute

some bigger kids were being really nice and sharing balls with ezekiel. that kept him happy for most of the time we were there.

more parachute fun

diedre works hard on a Valentine's Day card

Derek came home a little early and surprised diedre with a rose and puppy and chocolate heart (derek also got me three roses but diedre was looking out the window and said "Daddy got you flowers Mommy! they're so so so beautiful." so i wasnt surprised ;P).

our little princess

i gave ezekiel a lion

the kids try to show off their new toys

after dinner, we all exchanged gifts. derek & i and we had one more each for the kids. a tradition that derek brought into our marriage is to buy a nice card for one another on special occasions. it can get pretty costly at times (ie. Christmas) but its a nice tradition and i keep all the cards for the kids in a box for them to look at when they're older.
diedre opens her special Valentine card from Daddy and a ballerina barbie.

ezekiel opens his next gift

i found such a sweet book about a mother and son and how she loves him no matter what.
