Valentine's Day Getaway

This year's Valentine's Day was a blast! Since it's been a long winter and we've been stuck inside the house for much of it, I decided to surprise my family with an overnight stay at a nearby hotel. It was so much fun! But first, here are the pictures taken prior to our hotel stay.

The day before Valentine's Day, we made and decorated sugar cookies. Two things have I learned from this. 1. Do NOT give babies a frosted cookie AFTER taking a bath and 2. Do NOT give babies any kind of sugar less than an hour before bedtime.
  

Jaxon loved the frosting

Valentine's Day gifts for my boys. Although not pictured here was a beautiful bouquet of roses that "someone" hid in the dryer for me to find. :) Thanks, Husband!

Don't worry, the flashcards are the for Spanish alphabet.
I know "bee"doesn't start with an "A" in English.

Travis made me a special breakfast.

After a yummy late lunch at Mi Ranchito (our favorite Mexican restaurant, and where we first met), we packed our bags and some popcorn, rented The Avengers from Redbox, and checked into our hotel which was just down the street from our house. I guess you could call it a "stay-cation"!

Jaxon loved to be in the pool again. It's certainly been a while since we've been swimming! He especially loved being spun around by daddy and stepping off the edge into his arms. We were surprised he was brave enough to do it!

It was such a fun getaway and a much needed one, too! Here's hoping we can make it to spring! :)
