Happy Valentine's Day!

We celebrated Valentine's Day all month long it felt like - so many crafts and so many sweets. But on Valentine's Day we went to the Museum of Youth's special event (can't believe it was all free!). They had face painting, parrots!, cookie decorating, a complimentary breakfast, valentine crafts, storytime, a helicopter in the parking lot and of course all the activities at the museum. We didn't even make it to half the events but Liberty did enjoy sitting very still to have her cheek painted (out of alllll the choices she picked a hummingbird which I thought was so cute). She also can't stop talking about the "purple parrot, sit arm" (that sat on her arm). We also had a lunch date with our Valentine, Cameron, at Pita Jungle. Liberty is very attached to the puppy dog stuffed animal Poppa and Jo got her and her "Puppy dog movie" aka LADY AND THE TRAMP that my mom & dad got her. I truly love this holiday - it's so nice to celebrate those you love.

Lots of crafting up in here

Liberty and I have been doing a lot of valentine's day crafting. I haven't taken a lot of pictures but here is a small video I took while she painted on canvas.

Day Trip with my Valentine

We took a day trip to Jerome and Sedona to celebrate Valentine's Day and probably our last fancy dinner out for awhile. The Doctors encourage us to stay close to home now since labor is on the horizon. In a last minute attempt to get out and see the sites of Arizona (just as a couple) we made plans to have lunch at The Asylum in the historic mining town of Jerome, AZ and to have dinner at our favorite restaurant Cucina Rustica in Sedona. The Asylum is Senator John McCain's favorite place and I had never been to Jerome before. It was fun to walk around and shop the hilly town. We then went to Sedona and took a few scenic drives to Red Rock Crossing, Chapel of the Holy Cross and down by the creek to check out L'auberge de Sedona. We shopped at the outlets where mom, dad and Liberty all got a new outfit. It was a beautiful day spent with the windows and sunroof open. Dinner at Cucina Rustica was special as usual with the love of my life!
