It's THAT Day Again.

Valentine's Day. Not my favorite day. I do, however, LOVE that my two kiddos think it's a cool day. Here are my sweet Valentines:

I woke up this early this morning to make a special breakfast for my Valentines. I made pink pancakes with bacon. I gave them their Valentine treats, iTunes cards, a note from dad and me, and a rose for each of them! Ha! Connor was less than thrilled about getting a flower. One of his friends told me this evening at church basketball practice that he said I went overboard this morning with the rose. :) At least it was orange, and not pink! Anyway, it was a fun morning with my sweeties, even though I ended up being 2 minutes late for school. So worth it!

The sweetest thing for the day was my sweet Connor, using his money to buy my favorite chocolate candy for me. He was so thoughtful to know my favorite, and so precious that he wanted to buy it with his own money. That, and the "early" Valentine's Day bear from Claire, are my favorite Valentine's Day gifts EVER! I'm so proud of those two kiddos, and so grateful and blessed that God gave them to me for our earthly stay. If God had let me pick any two kids to be my son and daughter, I definitely would have picked these two. I love them so much!

Hubby brought home a bottle of my favorite perfume. Thanks, dear! Now, I smell pretty!

Claire also got a special treat today, having her name announced over the school intercom for her accomplishments in a reading program. She even gets to spend the week with the program's mascot, T.J. sitting on her desk.

Here is a picture of Claire and T.J.

On a different note, Sunday was so beautiful outside, and we were surprised with a visit from my mom. Here are a few pics from her short visit. Connor and Claire enjoyed playing outside with their Nana.
