Valentine's Day 2012

HAPPY VALENTINES!!

This was Beck's first Valentine's! It was fun being able to share this day of love with my little baby boy!

I woke this morning to creative posters our living room wall with things Mike loves about me, which made me feel SUPER DUPER special! Our wall ended up being a homage to our love for each other as I had also made a heart garland, and written a beautiful poem I found on a dry eraser board. I had fun this year tapping into my creative gene and making Mike's gifts unique via newspaper wrapping, cupcake liners, and rubber bands.

After a quite afternoon Mike planned to take me to my favorite place for seafood—Lob Dog :) but after realizing we'd have to wait an hour to eat we decided to forgo the cheddar biscuits and crab legs and grab our second favorite, which happened to be located in the mall of all places—Greek food. I have to say it was the most genius idea ever! I realized that going to a nice, crowded, over priced dinner on Valentine's is HIGHLY overrated! Not only did we spend less than half of what we would have and dined on the yummiest meal ever, but we got our food in 5 minutes, we didn't have to leave a tip, and Beck's had the greatest time people watching. It was a great combination!

After dinner I invited Becks and Mike into a "fortress" I had previously set up in the afternoon while I summoned Mike away. It ended up being a smash! Beckahm LOVED it; his entire face lit up when he saw the lights and played on all the pillows; it was like he entered a magical land. Mike thought it was pretty sweet as well; we both wished we had a room like this in our home!

After putting Becks to bed we made popcorn, Mike was so thoughtful to pick us up ingredients to make Italian Sodas—my fav, and we grabbed our favorite treats and watched a movie we both wanted to see when it first came out—"Anonymous". I don't know how well Mike liked it but it was totally up my English brain alley. It made me even more intrigued who the REAL Shakespeare is! I can't wait to find out on the other side.

It was a wonderful Valentines!! Enjoy the many pics!
