After we put the kids to bed last night, Brian and got ready for Valentine’s day by pre-making heart pancakes and “cupid’s arrow” bacon. The boys ran down this morning (well…Aiden slept in a bit) and opened up their “buckets of fun”. The excitement continued with parties at school, treats at home and, later, pizza ordering and cuddling on the couch! First, a flashback:

2009 - Logan at 3, Aiden at 2 and Brady at 14 months!

2014 - Logan at 8, Aiden at 7 and Brady at 6!

Breakfast prep last night: Daddy made the (turkey) bacon,

and Mommy made pancakes (with chocolate chips, not pictured)

Breakfast set up. Aiden was still sleeping, but here are Brady and Logan tearing into their Valentine’s buckets. The got chocolates, lots of amazing cards and money from the GG’s (thank you!), Mewmaw and Grandpa and us too. The hearts on the backs of their chairs gave me the idea to recreate the 2009 pic so I fixed them up while the boys got dressed.

It was Logan’s turn to have me work his party. This is one of his best friends at school, Ethan.
