Catching up.....OUR VALENTINES SUPRISE

OUR VALENTINES DAY SUPRISE!!!

So, I have to tell you all how sweet my kids are, my older two in particular. Valentines has never really been Aaron and I's thing. We think its just a silly holiday & we both feel that romance should never be a forced thing that you feel you must do because its a holiday, right? Romance is spontanious and not forced, so although we tell each other Happy Valentines and we be silly and say...BE MINE SWEETY we just dont go out, nor do we buy each other things. So, that morning we woke up & Aaron had a chiropracter appt for his back so we got ready he and I and I took him down to it. Derian watched the kids while we went. She had been in the room with us that morning while we were talking, and we were teasing the girls cuz they asked us if we were going out for "love day" & we teased them saying...."oh how can we, we've got to many kids to go out, you guys are always around" and we all laughed and tickeled the girls. Anyhow so we left, and I called them just before we were getting ready to leave the office to tell them we're coming home and see how it was going. Derian said to me..."MOM don't come home, u cant, you and dad never get anytime alone together so go enjoy yourselves alone. Go to breakfast, but don't come home" So, I was like, ok.....but what are you doing.... she went on to say not to worry bout it, the babies were fine, and her and Ash was doing something for us and didn't want us home. SO, of course Aaron and I were like HEK YA....we went to our fav breakfast place in Spanish Fork and enjoyed a nice, quiet breakfast. It was time to go home, so we headed to the house and went inside. Der and Ash had us go to the living room where they had two chairs set in the middle. We instantly noticed the house smelled of fresh brownies, and the house was CLEAN! We sat down in our spots, & Der and Ash read us a letter each of them had written. THE SWEETEST letters EVER! I sobbed and sobbed as they both read them to us. They just said how much they loved us, and how much they loved that Daddy and I loved each other, & just a bunch of darling, sweet stuff. THen they gave us pictures they had drew and each a brownie w/ a valentine candy heart on it that said BE MINE. This made what normally would have been a regular day to Aaron and I, one of the most special days because of our girls, and what they did for us. It was nice to come home to the house clean and my favorite brownies nice and warm. They both did a great job, and we're so proud of them! Even daddy got choked up.....we were both very touched by their sweet and thoughtful idea. THANX GIRLS!
btw, just as a side note, the pic posted, isn't them making brownies on this occassion, its another time but it fit, so I am posting it.
