I'll admit, I was kind of a slacker this year with Valentines Day. This is as festive as breakfast got - Heart shaped eggs and toast with strawberry jam and pink milk.
They got little Valentine bags with goodies that they seemed to like
After Dad got home from work, I planned an Amazing Race out for them. Kurt didn't seem too excited about it at first. He warmed up to the idea though after I explained it a little bit more. He was also excited to be the camera man.
A: The BYUI track
Clue #2: Go to BYUI, find someone wearing red and take a picture with them
Clue #3: Using these red wax lips, find someone and give them a kiss on the cheek
Clue #4: You'll find me up high, gazing towards New York City. I love to play them trumpet. Who am I?
A: Captain "Ramonie"
Clue #5: Find the big blue water tower and take a picture of it
Clue #6: Choo, choo, choo, what's coming down the track? Find a train to take a picture of.
Clue #7: Find the letters I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U and take a picture of each one. They must be from different signs.
Clue #8: Using the money for this leg of the race (50 cents), buy 1 banana.
Clue #9: In the place where you find all the books, find a book about love.
Clue #10: They have lights and sirens. They could be red or blue. Find one.
Clue #11: Sing Happy Birthday to Raschelle in person
Clue #12: Find volunteers to lay on the ground in the shape of a heart.
Clue #13: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday - We walk here everyday.
Clue #14: Come back to where you started, and find what I have waiting...
A fancy candlelight hamburger dinner
I made everything into heart shapes for them. I don't know if they noticed, or cared, but here's the proof of my love for them all :) Oh, and some X's and O's too.
And I wrote them all special valentines...
Kurt was SUPER excited. He kept saying, "This is the BEST DINNER EVER!!" (Kinda like from Tangled) He's already requested the same thing for next year.
Luke was excited, I just wasn't able to capture it on camera. He was hungry.
And even Dad thought it was pretty cool. He wondered if I'd purchased the hamburger buns in heart shapes. I said, "Nope, I just love you that much." :)
Then the boys made an extra pit stop along the race to hit Cocoa Bean for some fancy cupcakes. We ate 2 before I thought I should take a picture of them. But here's the rest. They were yummy!
