We're in a place lately that doesn't allow for very much forethought (particularly on my part, and since I'm usually the one doing the fore-thinking, we're running about a day or two out as opposed to a week or even a month like we used to do!), so come the day before Valentine's Day, I decided it was probably time for me to think about what I wanted us to do. I had gotten Seth a gift, but nothing for the boys. We don't make a huge deal out of the day here, but Seth and I do use it to exchange a small something. It seemed weird that we would be opening gifts potentially in front of the boys without them having a gift, so after consulting some friends, we decided to do one small gift, a candy something, and then also open their goodie bags from school. I already had these Superman shirts in the gift bin, so I just pulled them out and wrapped them in pink paper. Seth stopped at the store and got some Pez dispensers for them which I taped to the top like a bow. Very fancy! lol We opened gifts, ate dinner, the boys had a bath and then we sat down to watch Cinderella as a family (even GA!). Very low-key, but a good time.

| The shirts are slightly different, but still both Superman. |
I didn't get any of them opening their goodie bags from school, mostly because I was too busy hiding stuff I didn't want them to actually have. When Seth took them into the bathroom for baths, I tossed half of it away! The other half is stuff we've been slowly going through ever since and we still have some left!

It's not the best shot of their crazy-bath hair,
but I love Graham's face too much not to share it! |

She isn't normally allowed on the couch,
but she made her way up this time and it was nice to all be snuggled up together! |
In case you're wondering, Seth gave me a book of all 2014 blog posts and I gave him a Home Depot gift card and a Southern Living plants book. Both of us encouraging each other's hobbies! :-)
