Valentine's Day

I'm not a fan of Valentine's or any holiday for that matter. I love to make it about Brenna, but for the most part, especially Valentine's Day, you spend intirely too much money and honestly, it's just silly. We had agreed to not do anything for each other, but Paul doesn't follow rules very well. Surprising, right??



Friday night we went over to Jennifer & Dante's house and did Valentines for Brenna and her cousins, Alexis (Lexi/Lex) and Joey (JoJo). We had never had the means to make a big deal out of a holiday and we were able to this year, so we did it. Of course, we were frugal about it and why not take advantage of the fact that 5 and 3 year olds are cheap to please!! Brenna got a princess dress, lotion, glow in the dark hearts for her room, pencils and candy. Lexi got the same with the addition of a camp rock blanket. Jojo got 2 Transformers (note: don't attempt unless you have a rocket science degree from MIT!) lotion, stickers, candy and a sweater. The kids had a blast!!!



Saturday, the 3 of us woke up and went to Trader's Village. Paul & I treated ourselves to new perfume and colonge. That was our gift to each other. Paul cheated and got me a card and blew up a picture of Kels and I and a picture of him and Bren and framed them. They are so gorgeous. I have them at my desk now. Then we did our errands (weekend trip to Lowe's). We met up with Cadance and Travis at Shogun for some Japanese Hibachi time. Brenna hated it, of course. Then went and hung out with Travis for a little bit afterwards. It turned out to be a pretty good Valentine's Day thanks to Pauly boy. Here's some pictures from the night.
