So, this year I wasn’t the one with a hot date for Valentine’s Day. It was Ella’s turn! Since the fall, Ryan and I have tried to make a conscious effort to get the kids together at least once a month for a play date. They are so sweet to one another and play so well together. I swear I should invest in a digital video recorder just to show you how stinking adorable they are when they’re together.
Ella has been beside herself for the whole week about going over there and she wasn’t going to let a little snow and ice cramp her style! She came in my room early this morning to tell me that there was still snow on the ground and wanted me to check the weather for ice on the roads. After much contemplating {and an equal amount of begging} we set out over the mountain and made it safely to our destination.
First, there were special Valentine’s to be exchanged.
Then a yummy lunch at the Egg & I.
And finally, a big bowl of ice cream to top off the day.
As always, all great things must come to an end and we headed home for a nice long nap. Ella & SD are at the high school basketball team and I’m enjoying some quiet time cleaning house and doing a little laundry. Did I mention I’m enjoying a little of Ella’s Valentine’s Day candy? Well, I am and it’s good!
