That's how Andrew referred to his big day yesterday. We had a fun but busy Valentine's Day. The boys woke up to find a card from Grandmother with FIVE DOLLARS in it as well as heart-shaped Nascar tins with car-shaped candy inside. Andrew and Aaron actually spent much of the day over at Nana and Papa's house because I had some activities to attend. They got to walk Sampson outside, make a heart with stickers, "play chess two times" and play card games with Papa. Andrew loved it because he got to win some with Papa whereas Addison is often not so generous. But the Valentine festivities began earlier in the week when we made ceral crispy treats in the shape of hearts using Fruity Pebbles to get the fun colors. Andrew was so proud of them and took one for each child at his Tuesday babysitter. Then yesterday, the Seminary Women's Club (of which I am president this year) hosted it's annual Valentine's Day lunch on campus. I made a crockpot of chili to take and it was crowded and festive as usual. I stayed for a little while at that and then headed over to Addison's school to help 22 first-graders make Valentine crafts, eat cupcakes (which I took) and attempt to get the right Valentine to the correct recipient's box. Then we came home to find a box from Aunt Genevieve with a card the boys loved (see pics of them dancing to it and Aaron clapping little hands to the music) and some candy and even a book for me! A birthday cake book that I look forward to reading and using. Then (could we pack more into this day?), Brent had made reservations for us to eat dinner at Crook's Corner in Chapel Hill. It's a small but kind of famous restaraunt, at least to readers of Southern Living. We really enjoyed it, though most of the other patrons were not those who frequent places we usually go, but it was fun to "branch out" a little. Hope you had a great Valentine's Day. :)
