Valentine's Day

This year, Spencer and I kinda decided that we weren't going to do something too big for Valentine's Day. We made a deal to keep it really low key so that we could just spend some much-needed family time together.

V-day was on a Monday. Usually on Monday's Spencer would get up at 8am for class and he'd be gone until about 11am. For the first couple weeks after Maggie was born I literally slept until Spencer got home if Maggie allowed me to do so. And she usually did because for those first few weeks of her life she stayed awake all night and slept through the day - which meant that mommy became nocturnal too. But this morning when Spencer went to class, both Maggie and I got up to get ourselves ready for his return.

The Saturday before I took a trip to Old Navy and picked out this cute outfit for Maggie. Before Maggie was born and people were doing showers for us, we kept getting clothes that said "Mommy's Sweetheart" or " Momma's Cutie" or something like that. More than once Spencer voiced his sadness that there wasn't an "I love Daddy" outfit or something for him to enjoy. So when I saw this outfit I knew it was the perfect Valentine's Day gift for him.

"Daddy's Little Love Bug"

I really couldn't help myself, I knew that we just HAD to have this outfit! I had to laugh at this huge flower on her head too. My mom calls it Maggie's fountain.

So I took these pictures of Maggie while Spencer was gone and then decorated the front door for him. This is how it turned out.

Spencer loved it! And up until about a week ago we still had it up - although we moved it to the inside so that everything wouldn't blow off or get snowed on.

And of course - Spencer did a perfect job of making me feel special too. He bought me these incredible flowers, Reese's and a chick flick for our "night in" to celebrate!
It couldn't have been a better day!
