February in Texas

I feel like Valentine's Day tends to take over our house in February.

I love a theme and the holidays provide just that!

While Matt and I have never been big "Valentine's folk" 

having kids to celebrate with changes everything.

We celebrated with our annual Valentine's Day card photo

making delicious cookies

and cake pops to share with all our friends

and finally celebrating the day with a class party at Lauren's school.

She brought donuts with heart sprinkles.

Surprise, surprise.

We filled the rest of our February days with play, adventures, and a few quiet moments too...

also known as, how many sleeping photos was I able to capture this month?

We also had the opportunity to shoot with a favorite child/family photographer of ours for
Caroline's slightly belated one year photos.

And y'all...

My midwestern self can't see to add y'all to my vocab yet, but its part of Shalonda's and she sounds so cute when she says it, so in honor of her...

this might be me favorite session yet.

We were seriously blown away by the photos and had so much fun shooting. 

I won't show you every photo,

but definitely enough that you grow bored and scroll through. 

February may be short,
but my goodness
this one was sweet.
