Our Valentine's Day

 

Yesterday was such a lovely and low-key day for us, and I am so grateful for it. Lexi actually slept in until about 7:30 in the morning. (Please note: in my mind, this hour STILL does not constitute actual sleeping in, but in Lexi's 6 a.m. world, this is monumental and we gratefully accepted it.) 

We spent the morning drinking coffee slowly and resting on the couch. It, too, was a gift that we gratefully accepted. I don't remember the last time we had such a truly leisurely morning. 

We took our time getting ready, had leftovers for lunch, and then headed out to a meeting for the afternoon. (Like how we coordinated??) 

I had originally planned to cook our Valentine's Day dinner, but I confess at the time I planned that, I thought the aforementioned meeting was a MORNING meeting. By the time it was over, it was dinner time, and we were both already hangry. So we did something we haven't done in MONTHS! Chinese takeout! Oh how I love crab rangoon!!

We also did our official photo shoots for the day, and I thought they turned out pretty cute!

I spent the evening scrapbooking and Ryan got to enjoy whatever he was working on - and we had the Olympics on in the background! (I don't know if it was the station or our internet, but it kept cutting out, so we watched whatever actually played.)

And then Ryan broke out the card he got for me - and Lexi got one for me too!! Interestingly enough, the theme of the card was about "I chews you" - and she chewed on the card for all the pictures. That girl. ;)

It was a perfect day!! Thanks, Ryan, Lexi, and Braeya, for making it so special for me! I love you all!
