Valentine's Day at School

The boys had Valentine's parties at school again this year. Patrick's class moms had fun games set up for them and this cute craft where they made a picture of themselves blowing hearts. So cute!

Blowing q-tips into hearts

 Daniel's class does what they call a Party with a Purpose for Valentine's day each year. This year his class decorated "coins" to give to the Douglas County Sheriff's office. The officers get coins at work as a sign of appreciation from the public. I thought that was a very cute idea and a great way to teach appreciation for other's service.

Happy Valentine's Day!

20 Year Anniversary

Joe and I celebrate 20 years together on February 14, 2018. So, we celebrated early with dinner and a night at a hotel. 

This is a picture from our very first date. It was Joe's high school dance. 

I thought it would be run to replicate the event so I found us similar outfits for our date.

We even went to dinner at 801 Chophouse, which is not where we went for our first date (that was Macaroni Grill) but it is a restaurant that started in Des Moines and recently opened a location in Cherry Creek so I thought a Des Moines restaurant would be a fun way to bring Iowa to Colorado.

It's been a fun 20 years and I wouldn't want to have spent it with anyone else but you, babe. Here's to many more than 20 more!
