Valentine's Par-tay!

Last week we were in El Paso for a few days and to convince Jackson it was time to go back to Austin because Dada missed us, we had to tell him we were going to have a really awesome Valentine's Day party at home. No seriously, the kid wasn't going to get on a plane without a reason to go home. Apparently Dada was not good enough ;).

When we got back home we made sure to prep for V day with a few Valentine's of our own for Jackson's classmates. They received dino tattoos and some goodies from our cub...

 What a generous cat our boy huh?!  After a fun, festive Valentine's celebration at school we came home to a lovely surprise from Dada! 

Turns out Dada had gotten the boys an edible arrangement, balloons and teddy bears (one for each of the boys but James didn't want to let his go...he's a fan of bears if you recall ;)). 

 Jackson on the other hand did not want to let the edible arrangement go...

No joke--I had 2 strawberries and a piece of pineapple and James wasn't interested. It was gone by the time Jack got home that night...

Later in the day I gave the boys my gifts to them. I swear they were more excited about them even though it doesn't look like it...

...these cubs---they are something else...

They got some random goodies and matching Valentine's pjs. I am their mom after all so I'll leave the 'cool' gift giving to their dad. 

 ...besides, they liked most of their gifts...

 and I loved seeing them in matching Valentine's pj's :) too sweet!  

 After bed time Jack and I celebrated our own Valentine's with take-out Indian food and season 2 of House of Cards. It was in a word, spectacular. MY kind of night. Hope y'all had a good one! xoxo...
