Valentine's Day

We keep Valentine's Day pretty simple around here. We don't do presents or anything big, but we still enjoy it.

I was too lazy to come up with something original for the boys' valentines, so I did the same thing I did last year. They turned out cute, though.

This year, Ben got me a card....

Romantic, no? (Actually, he wrote a really sweet message in the card.)

I made him a cake...

Needless to say.... cake decorating is not my strong point. It tasted good, though, and that's what matters!

That evening, we all went out to dinner at a place called Pho Hut. I have been wanting to try pho for a while now. Ben has already had it and didn't think it was all that exciting, so his suggestion to go get pho for dinner was a nice Valentine's Day gesture.

It was a very pleasant evening and a nice day overall. I enjoyed being able to spend some quality time with all four of my valentines. :)

The valentine card with Asher is super cute! If it's to a new teacher, I'm sure it didn't matter if it was the same as the year before.
