Happy Valentine's Day

 The night before Valentine's Day I was baking some banana bread and when I turned around to get a measuring cup, there Kai was, in Ben's arms, giggling with a huge grin on his face and holding a dozen roses for me.  It was so cute to see Kai so giddy over what he was doing.  







The Next day I went and got some red velvet cupcakes from Temptation Cupcakes and dropped a box of 4 cupcakes and a single rose at Ben's work to be delivered to him.  I bought 2 extra cupcakes for me and Kai to enjoy.  They were sooooo yummy!
When Ben got home from work I had this display set up for him.  Ben has been needing some new basketball shoes so I thought I would surprise him and go get them for Valentine's Day.  Kai gave Ben a heart shaped basketball container filled with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and a card with his hand prints and foot print on it saying "From the bottom of my heart....to the tips of my toes, I love you Dad!"  Then Kai made a few scribbles on it for his signature.  Kai and I had made this card about a week before Valentine's Day and Kai had a complete meltdown because of the paint and his issues with texture.  Funny enough Kai made this exact same card with Ben the Sunday before Valentine's Day in Nursery.  Ben was telling me how Kai was throwing a fit over it.  Poor kid had to do this traumatizing thing twice!

That night Kai had a date with his Aunt Sam and arrived with a single rose for her.  Since Kai was busy with his date Ben and I decided to go to dinner at the Coppermill with Ray, Andrea, Chris and Marsha.
