Valentine's Day went something like this. . .

Friday consisted of running between school Valentine parties, and then dealing with the after effects of over-excited, over-sugared kids. Thankfully that combination was pretty conducive to afternoon naps for all of us. I worked Friday night, so I stopped by the store Saturday morning and picked up some Valentine donuts for the fam. It was snowing, so the drive home (or rather the skiing down the Avenues) took a little longer than usual. When I got home Bob was in bed and Addie and Isaac were playing on the top bunk of Isaac's bed. Rather than peals of playful laughter greating me, I heard the screams of sibling rivalry well under way when I came through the door. Thankfully they were hastily put the an end when they saw I had donuts in hand. Then we all sat down together to eat and share some reasons why we love eachother. Adeline's comments were by far my favorite, they went something like this (please imagine this all with the cute lisp that she has):

"I love my mommy. I love her heart in her body. It is so pretty"

"I love my daddy because he's my daddy and my boys, and he loves to go to work."

"I love Isaac because he makes me laugh. He pushes on my belly and I say 'Burrrrrp!' and we laugh!"

Pretty cute!

I slept for about 3 hours until everyone else laid down for a nap, and then I suddenly couldn't sleep anymore. So I took advantage of a quiet house and called my mom to talk. It was time well spent. My awesome hubby also cleaned up the house, bought me chocolates (mmmmm) and a really nice card.

Then we got a babysitter and with with Bob's brother Ben and his wife Lonni to the Utah Youth Symphony performance at the Tabernacle on Temple Square. It was phenomenal. . . and also free! I hope they do this every year. The night ended with take out from Wok Lin (mmmm) and watching The Office on NBC.com. Very romantic. . . I know.

All in all, it was a fabulous day. Hope all of yours was the same!
