Valentine's Day

For the first time in six years Matt and I got to spend Valentine's Day together.  Our first Valentine I was in Alaska and he was in Utah.  The past five years either we both worked or he did.  So this year he finally had the day off.  The thought of crowded movie theaters or restaurants didn't thrill either of us. I have never been one for tons of noise or crowds. So instead we decided to go get a couple of red box movies and get some take out from Red Dragon Bistro.  (They have yummy Chinese food that isn't overly greasy)  We got Escape Plan with Arnold and Sly Stallone.  Love it.  But I have always been one for a movie where things blow up.  We also got Ender's Game.  I loved the book.  I have always been a big fan of Orson Scott Card.  It was good.  But there were some things left out that annoyed me like his relationship with his siblings. Or what his siblings were doing while he was at battle school.  Some movies just don't live up to the wonderful books they come from.  But then again the girls and I just finished Stuart Little.  Let me just say the movie was way better then the book.  So far they are enjoying Charlotte's Web and the BFG more. 
  With girls we made Valentines and sugar cookies to pass out to the kids in their classes at church.  They had more fun passing them out in the rain.  We gave them each a cute valentine heart with chocolate.  They then got to go to the Lego movie with Matt's parents and have a sleep over with their grandparents.  Of course we kept Alex with us.  He is such a happy little boy though I wish he would sleep through the night.  I have never seen a baby laugh so much when he gets his shirt changed.  He giggles over most anything. 
 He loved having Mommy and Daddy to himself. 

I wanted a picture of Alex before Church.  Emme wanted a picture with her brother.  Where was Livi?  Twirling

Chewing on his fingers in his Daddy lap. 

She wanted to take a picture of me too.  She loved her heart pancake for breakfast.

Her Valentine from mommy and Daddy

Livi loved it.  It had two of her favorite things Princesses and Chocolate

He was just hanging out in his high chair. 

We went to Sweet Tomatoes for lunch.  This is how he was when we walked in.
