Low-Key Lovin'

Hope you all had a happy day of lovin' your loved ones. 
We enjoyed our low-key day. We had a breakfast picnic and I went all out...donuts. 
Call me Fancy.
I know everyone is full of opinions about Valentines Day, but I love the chance to be intentional in reminding my family of how much I love them. 
And it gives us a good excuse to do things we don't normally allow like eating breakfast in the living room while watching a dvd. 
We watched Kayt's new Valentine's video from Pop and DeDe. 
It's a real thriller. Baby Bop goes to school. 
That night, Brad and I had a nice, unplanned dinner alone. We decided to cook out and then put the kids to bed after dinner and watch a movie. When we had complications with our grill, the dinner time continued to be pushed back. My always starving children were ready to eat so I fed them and decided to try and put them to bed early. To my surprise, they went right down. 
We ended up having the quiet dinner that I had hoped for. God has a funny way of fulfilling the small desires of our heart.

YUM...Cherry donuts are my favorite and are very much missed by my family. We ALWAYS have to get cherry donuts when we come to town. Well not we but me lol!! I can't wait to have one in March! If you don't have an idea of what to do for a bday...they do parties there now. My twins bday party is going to be there in March. Not sure what it entails but doesn't matter...I get a cherry donut!;-)
Glad everything worked out for your dinner! It's always nice to put kids down EARLY!

So cute!!! I think it will be so exciting to celebrate the holidays with eager minds and experiencing the thrills through the eyes of a child!!! How fun! I remember doing picnic meals and thinking it was soooo cool to "break the rules"
