Happy Valentine's Day

Brad and I aren't usually big on Valentine's Day, but we all had such a fun day this year.  The kids all had to make boxes for their school parties, and while most moms make these elaborated contraptions, all three of the Nixes made their own boxes.  I loved them--misplaced tape, uneven cuts and all.

At first Luke didn't want anything to do with making a box (surprise, surprise), so even an all orange Paw Patrol box was considered a success.  

Always the easiest to please, Natalie was happy with colored paper (left over from last year) and a few drawings. 

James had Brad print out pictures of his favorite sports teams/players, and the Alabama/Astros/Rockets/Packers box was perfect for this boy! 

I really, really loved these!

I didn't make it to any of the class parties, but a fellow mom/teacher sent me these cute ones of Luke along with their conversation: "Luke, let me take your pictures." "I don't like pictures." "Too bad, I already took it." "Delete it please"

 

Sweet, Sweet class: (Tess, Ethan, Luke, Thomas, Harper and Molly)

Instead of a fancy dinner out with Brad, we enjoyed Whataburger on our way to Ash Wednesday service  Perfect. 

And while I did receive a sweet card and flowers from Brad, these precious Valentine's are hard to beat. 

What a special day celebrating all of the love in our family!  And throw back picture for good time's sake.
