Our Valentine's Day

We started our Valentine's Day preparations this week when we made a "craff" (craft) for daddy. We decorated our whole house with hearts and talked about "love day" all week!
Today two of my teacher friends were off and we had so much fun having a play date together!


Mackenzie and Aubrey love their friend Maddie! Maddie and Aubrey were due on the same day!


Today during nap Mackenzie snuck out of her "big girl bed" and took out her "'puter"... I had to take a picture before I dealt with the sneakiness issue... it was too cute to pass up! It was one of my hardest mommy moments not to laugh when she started screaming, "No! No! I need to check my email! I need to check my email!!"


We postponed of V-day celebration until tonight. We got all dressed up for Jake and greeted him at the door in our lovely attire. I had beautiful dresses picked out for the girls months ago, but Mackenzie insisted on dressing herself for this occasion and I let her. This is what she came up with!






Jake saw Aubrey and he said, "There's my modest girl!" She looked adorable in the overalls and pink skirt her sister picked out for her! Here she is showing her daddy her pretty skirt and feeling ever so proud of herself!

While Jake got cleaned up from work, Mackenzie decided on an outfit change because she needed "heels" like Mommy!


We had a beautiful candle lit, heart shaped dinner!

I made mini heart shaped meat loaves, heart shaped rolls, pink mashed potatoes... and green beans (since I'm still a mom even on V-day!)


Our not so happy Sweetheart! She didn't like her meat loaf very much!


After dinner I put on the song "Cinderella" by Stephen Curtis Chapman and Jake danced with his girls... He is such a good sport about our fussing over him!





Aubrey's dance turned into a ticklefest! She would lean her head back so Jake could blow raspberries on her neck and she'd crack up and do it over and over again!






Afterwards Jake practiced his guitar and Aubrey helped him keep a beat!




Almost standing!


She did it!!

My handsome Valentine!

Jake and I have been celebrating Valentine's Day all week it seems... or maybe it's been the past 5 years ;) He is my best friend... I just can't get enough of this boy! He leads me so well, cares for my soul, listens to my heart, holds me when I need it, pushes me thru when I need it, counsels me, makes me laugh, and loves me and forgives me so unconditionally! I didn't think I could love him anymore than I did on our wedding day, but I DO... every conflict, every trial, all the laughter, memories, moments... everything keeps knitting us closer together and our love keeps going deeper and deeper! I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend!

About Me

My photo
I am a sinner saved by grace and I married my best friend, Jake, in May 2005! God has blessed us with three adorable little girls that we get to raise together in a beautiful home in the most charming neighborhood in America! They are a joy to raise and continually make us aware of our need for a Savior! We are thankful the Lord did not leave us in our sin, but sent His Son Jesus to die in our place, bearing the just wrath of God that we deserved, and giving to us Christ's righteousness instead. Through His grace and forgiveness, we now are free to love Him who saved us and to extend the mercy we've been shown to each other. We pray our little ones will come to know Christ and that we will be faithful to proclaim the good news of Jesus to them not only with our words, but with our actions and our interactions with each other. So please enjoy reading about the Moon family, we're so glad you stopped by!
