Valentines Day was pretty great this year.

The girls woke up to balloons, hair clips and tiny gumball machines.

Then we all made breakfast together which included pancakes with strawberry sauce, bacon and eggs.

Tallie was off to school and TJ off to work.

Chloe and I prepared lunch for our tea party.

I pulled out the real deal china that I have collected at garage sales and inherited from great grandparents (hopefully I can add to my collection this summer).

We made tiny heart sandwhiches, cubed cheese and bananas(with toothpicks in them to make it fancy) and chocolate covered strawberries.

I LOVE HAVING GIRLS!!!!

TJ surprised me and came home for lunch and brought me these beautiful flowers.

They are not just ordinary flowers...there are 8 red roses for the 8 years we've been married

3 yellow roses for our 3 beautiful girls

and 1 pink rose for the love of his life.

He really knows his stuff

He also got me a gift card to Downeast...

Again, he really knows his stuff.

Always stealing my ipod...

For the rest of the day I watched my friends kids while she went to help at the schools V day party. ONE DAY I WILL DO THE SAME

It was a BEAUTIFUL day but I spent it chasing my kids around Burlington Coat Factory with Tessa while she looked for V day gifts (what was I thinking!) I should have been outside.

Heather Soules came over to watch the girls I LOVE HER.

TJ and I went to dinner with the MONA and BOB at Goodwood BBQ where I am OBSESSED with their Ribs!!!!

It was a good night
