Valentine's Day

As you all may know, Valentin's day is one of my favorite holidays! This v-day, was one of my favorites!

Our Valentine's celebration, was almost a 3 day affair! ( Which is probably why it's one of my favorite! ;)

It all started on Thursday, when I met up with my friend, Betsy, to make cookie bouquets together, and drop off to our husband's work. My original idea, was to make a cake pop bouquet, but then my oh so creative friend, suggested a cookie bouquet! Why didn't I think of that? ;) So, I did a cookie, and a red velvet cake pop bouquet...all heart shaped of course!

First, we dropped off Joe's bouquet:Then, we went to Jeff's work, so Betsy, and her two daughters could drop of his bouquet!Did you notice the bite taken out of the, "Me 2!" green cookie? Well, there's a funny story that goes with this, and I'm going to have to tell it to you!
On the way into his office, Betsy and I were of course snapping away with our cameras. Betsy got her two girls together, so she could get a picture of them bringing their cookie into daddy's office. Just as she was about to snap the picture, her youngest daughter, took a big bite out of daddy's cookie!It was classic!

On Saturday, Joe brought me home flowers:
(He got creative with the fallen leaves and petals;)Sunday, Joe surprised me, by setting up his paint set that he got for Christmas, so we could paint together. This was a great surprise all by itself, because I LOVE painting with him, but when I opened my paint book, this is what I saw: He's too good to me. He really is.

After my big surprise, we started painting together. Joe loved painting with acrylic paint for the first time (we usually water paint)! He painted this beautiful mountain scene!:I was trying to paint a picture that symbolized the wonderful things Joe did for me this Valentine's day. It was supposed to be the heart necklace he got me, with warm fuzzies around it, because that's how it made me feel. Along with rose petals falling, to symbolize the roses he got me. Instead, this is how it came out:Complete with the misspelling of Valentine's day. Good job Brittany ;D (I promise I really do know how to spell it!:)

Later on that evening, Joe and I made a Deliciously Healthy dinner together:You can read more about that HERE

Hope you had a great valentine's day too!
