The day started off with the girls' love day bags waiting at their breakfast spot and an extra valentine from their Papi for all his girls (including me!).
Their bags were filled with some edible treats and a ban.do clip for the big girls. Their shared wrapped present were the my little pony toys they have been wanting, rather, their papi has been eagerly wanting to get them.
My present on the other hand, were two of the shirts I had been wanting from our trip to Madewell. Turns out, while I was trying things on, that boy of mine sneakily purchased two shirts and had them hiding in the baby sling! See this picture, he is hiding two shirts in that sling of his. Definitely sneaky, sneaky, but I love it and love him more!!!
The girls got put to bed extra early, so Ben and I could get in some quiet time. We ordered sushi, put on some quiet music, and just ate and chatted together. Kinda nice. I also gave him his little handmade present, but I will save that for another post. I love simple celebrations like this. Though, I am not opposed to fancy ones too! I just love celebrating in general.
Ben has a lot of girls to romance and I feel so blessed that he enjoys using his creativity and love for us to spoil us girls. We love our Papi very much!!! It was definitely a good Valentine's Day in our home.
How was yours?
How sweet! Ben always seems to put together the best gifts and celebrations for you and the girls.
ReplyDeleteValentine's Day isn't so popular here {England} for families and friends; it's generally more couples-based. But this year my mama gave me a bunch of daffodils and she made a label for my smoothie, which had a camera barcode and my favourite song lyric, and so that was nice.
Very sweet! There's nothing better then a low key Valentine's day, just appreciating each other.
ReplyDeleteYour girls are darling.
oh.so. precious. those little gifts are adorable...and the wrapping as well!!!
ReplyDeletei LOVE that pic of true smiling!!! papi does have his hands full with all those girls, he did good , huh momma?! and that sneaky little guy!! getting u those shirts. i wouldnt have guessed it either!!!
ReplyDeletethat is so sweet. you guys are lucky for one another <3 i love celebrating too! although... i kind of wished we just stayed home... it gets too crazy on the day of valentine's.... and overpriced! i'd rather throw down a few hundred on another night other than valentine's now b/c the waiters don't have a bajillion ppl to wait on and you'd get a way better service.. but just my opinion though.
ReplyDeleteoh my.. and your husband is sneaky! way to go for him! can't wait to see your shirts!
I love tulips! Sounds like a perfect day!
ReplyDeletethat is so sweet, i love the presents you gave your hubby.
