Valentine's Day

We had a fun Valentine's Day this year! I woke up and tried to be super quiet so I could decorate Casey's office. I made a bunch of heart paper chains and strung them around the whole room. It turned out really cute. I wrote him a poem for Valentine's Day and laid that on his desk with a Happy Valentine's Day sign. It was more of a sentimental gift this year, so I hope he liked it! I went in the kitchen and on the counter was a sweet letter from my husband and next to it was a chocolate rose and a huge Reese's chocolate heart. He knows how much I love chocolate! At the end of the note he told me to pack our bags because he is taking Avery and I to Salt Lake to stay in a hotel and also to see Safe Haven, a new chick flick. I love weekend getaways! Also on the counter was a little stuffed animal he bought for Avery. He is such a sweet dad!

I came home from work and played with Avery. I love coming home to her cute smiley face! We took a couple Valentine pictures since it was her first Valentine's Day. 

Her shirt says: Daddy's Little Sweetie

  

Casey finished working for the day and then we had some friends stop by to visit. They have a little boy that is about 2 months older than Avery. It was so fun watching them stare at each other and get excited! We were taking pictures and Tate grabbed Avery's hand a couple times. She didn't know what to think. He's putting the moves on her for Valentine's Day. Smart boy! This picture will be fun to show them when they get older. We had a great time visiting with Tyler and Megan. They have such a cute family!

After I got off work on Friday, we left for Salt Lake. We checked in to our hotel and then went to eat before Safe Haven. Avery did really well at the movies. Then we went back to our hotel and got ready to go swimming! It was Avery's first time at the swimming pool so we were excited to see her reaction. 

Casey got in the pool first with her and he dipped in her the water a little bit. She didn't know what to think. She had a stunned look on her face, probably because the water was pretty chilly for being a heated pool. She whimpered a little bit so we didn't keep her in for long. 

I got in the pool with her afterwards. The water was way too cold for me which is why I'm all tensed up in the picture. Gosh I need a tan! 

We laid Avery down while we got in the hot tub! It was my first time in a hot tub since before I was pregnant. Wow, I forget how much I missed it. 

I loved getting away for a night and just spending time with my baby and my husband!!
