I woke up to smelly breath in a discount hotel room followed by a value breakfast at Denny's and a 6+ hour car ride. It was great, it was real, it was our Valentine's day.
We were on our way home from Disneyland.
While we were gone my mom made sure the kids were taken care of for Valentine's day. She bought Everett Star Wars cards and pencils AND cupcakes to pass out to his classmates. She took Breckie to Kneaders for a heart cookie and bought her paints and her own Valentines to make.
I know they had a great time without us.
Plus we brought them back some pretty epic gifts from Disneyland. We bought Everett a GIANT stuffed Baymax, Breckie got princess shaped crayons and a coloring book and mermaid tail socks, Roxy got a cute kitty, and we brought Grammy and Great Grammy Mickey Mouse earrings.
Breckie scratch-designed each valentine cupcake on her own! The designs are so great! Part of me is bummed we didn't get to celebrate more of the day with our kids but there is always next year (and I'm extra grateful they could at least spend it with Grammy and GG :)
