their valentines

Taking Valentine's pictures of my kids this year went surprisingly well.  

Actually, the first attempt did not go well at all.  

Not enough sunshine of the literal kind or the personality kind.  Grumps and clouds and a camera do not mix well.

We tried again a few days later. The sun was out, my room was bright, and the kids were happy to pose and look cute.

Because of that, I had way too many to choose from, 

so I did them all. 

Naturally. 

 This one wasn't my favorite, but...those curls!...I just had to use it somehow.
Her curls looked that perfect on accident--from us going to the pool that morning and me not washing it after. (Cause I'm Supermom.)

Some most days her curls are just a frizz fest/strawberry blonde rats nest, but then there are days like this one, 
where I get all giddy because of how much I have always wanted a little girl with curls.  

The grumps weren't entirely gone that afternoon either, so I focused on his sweet little toes.

 Happy Valentine's Day! We love you all!
