valentines day

about a week prior, joey asked me what i wanted to do for valentines day.  and all i could think was i wanted to have a fun family day before the chaos of moving began.  and luckily he understood that a date night out would be much more needed in a few weeks when things had settled a bit.

we kicked off heart day with a visit to max's school party.  craziness and sugar!  he also got to "share" at the end and luckily had just received a new monster truck from ana and papaw for a valentines gift.  



valentines day our family of 4 headed off to the dallas zoo.  we had such a fun day!



 this king vulture flew to the closest perch for us to get a closer look, but we think he may of been eyeing our 2 year old as a desired snack too!
 another favorite was this giant anteater.  joey and i couldn't remember ever seeing one these before.









 we lucked out and walked up right in time for the cheetah encounter. 



this is still one of the coolest parts of the dallas zoo.  you can feed the giraffes!








we also were able to experience the predator encounter with the lions.




we had our traditional heart shaped pizza that night when we got home and 
enjoyed a movie with pop and g.

and of course sunday was our family valentines dinner.  i was SUPER tired so i was lazy about taking pictures.  but this is still one of my favorite traditions.
