♥ Valentine's Day ♥

Happy Valentine's Day!! I have always loved Valentine's day, even when I was single. It's always been an excuse to indulge in sweets {I am addicted to sweets if you don't know me} all day long. It got even better when I met my Mr. Hot Hubby back in 2004. From there on, Valentine's has always been amazing. I started looking back through old pics trying to see how far back I could find them of Trevor and I on Valentine's Day. I didn't make it back too far, I guess I didn't have a digital camera back in 2005. Or if I did, I didn't save the pics to my computer and I couldn't find any printed out. Anywho, here's a few good laughs for ya'll =)

This was in 2009. I surprised Trevor with tickets to see the Tar Heels play {his fave basketball team}. We spent a whole weekend in Chapel Hill. I remember how excited he was when he opened those tickets at dinner. Aaahhh...if only I was still that sweet. Lol - maybe one day I'll surprise you again hunny =)

Obviously this isn't me or Trevor...it's my dear sweet Mama whose birthday is Feb. 13. This was in 2010. I did find a pic of me and Trevor, but it was so hideous I couldn't bring myself to post it. Mama turned 80 yesterday...she's the absolute love of my life and the best Mama ever! Happy Birthday shout out Mama...love you!

Big momma in tha house {with my adorable lil Mags}! This one is seriously for jokes ya'll. I was prego with Tanner and had him 6 weeks later. Trevor took me out to a wonderful dinner at Stellar. It was amazing, just like every date with him is. Awww...I know, so sappy. Love my hubs though!

This was last year. I believe we went to the Melting Pot {my fave}. Man what a difference a year makes =) 

I most certainly can't leave out the other little guy who has my heart and makes Valentine's even better than it already was before he came along.

It's a whole new ballgame when it comes to Valentine's Day and kids. We don't go crazy on gifts mainly because we spend all of our money on Tan man {thanks to diapers and a child who eats like he's 15}. Totally kidding. We are having a very romantic dinner tonight {with Tanner and I'm sure his cartoons blaring in the background}. We decided to make our own fondue at home this year. I'm excited to just be at home with my two boys that I love the most. And chocolate. And fondue. And Tanner's candy from school. Totally kidding again.

I LOVED making Tanner's snacks for his class. He goes to Mother's Day Out one day a week and this year it fell on Valentine's Day. YAYYY!!! They were super yummy. I look forward to making sweet treats for him and his buddies for many, many years to come. 

I made these delish red velvet puppy chow mix that I found here on Pinterest. They didn't turn out red like I thought, but your mouth turns red after you eat them. Oh well. They looked pretty.

Speaking of food, can I just tell ya'll about the amazing meals I've had today?! Casey and I eat breakfast at the Bakery and Bistro almost every Thursday {check them out here}. Seriously, it's the best food ever. I've never had a single thing from there that I didn't fall in love with. Then for lunch I had a toasted flatbread pimento cheese. OMG. This came from the food cart in TR that's outside of My Sister's Store on Main Street. They have homemade pimento cheese and chicken salad, plus sandwiches/wraps that change daily {Tuesday-Friday}. Sorry the pic has a bite taken out of it, but I couldn't resist. I've certainly been Ms. Piggy today, but it's Valentine's. Momma's gotta grub too, right?!

Cheese and herb scone and a homemade cinnamon bun. Casey and split the scone to save a few calories. =)

I am so full from eating this awesome little creation, that I'm not sure I can divulge in as much fondue as I had hoped tonight.

This little stud muffin says Happy Valentine's Day ya'll! He had some crazy hair and was half asleep. I tried to bribe him into saying cheese, but obviously that didn't work.

I hope you all enjoy your Valentine's Day. If you're single, oh well. I bet you've got some amazing friends that you could celebrate with and pig out on chocolate. And if you're married, engaged or dating someone be sure to show them lots of love on this speical day....and still pig out on chocolate. Remember that Valentine's Day should be everyday! Love is a sweet, sweet thing ♥ I'm off to prepare for my special valentine's arrival from work. Until next time...
