Chugar and Hunny: V-Day and Family Day Weekend

Ben took this past Friday off so that we could head up north a day early which meant we drove up north on Valentines Day. Ben had bought me beautiful roses the day before and we ended going out for sushi on Friday while my Mom put the kids to bed. Thanks Mom! The kids made Ben a cute valentine and Ava picked out a pink monkey for him (herself). I got him some chocolates and my friend had made caramel, snicker, white chocolate apples so I packaged it up all cute and gave it to him. We headed up north after Ben was done work. Ben had a little surprise waiting for me at my Mom's. Emily had set up some cute stuff in the guest room but the highway was closed for about 45 mins so we opted to stay the night at Matthew and Kere's. Poor Ammon was getting so hungry and tired. It was not fun but luckily we were one of the first people back on the hwy. We headed to my parents the next day and had such a fun weekend there. Ben had build an awesome snow hill for my Mom's annual tobogganing party which was a blast. Ava had fun playing with her cousins but was such a grump this weekend. It probably had something to do with her being sick but she was miserable. We celebrated my Mom's birthday and played some hilarious minute to win it games that Emily had organized. We also played a game called "things." I don't think I've laughed so hard in all my life. It was a great weekend spent with my favorite people. I love my family and am grateful to know that families are forever.
