The Carlsons: Little Cupids

Happy Valentine's Day!

With two little ones, it's a little hard to be completely romantic for Valentine's Day but with two little cupids in our lives now, there's definitely more love in our family than we've ever had! Valentine's Day was relaxing and family oriented; after afternoon naps, we headed to the Town Center and treated Ella to her first cup of Starbuck's hot chocolate. Needless to say, that was an huge hit! It was cute to have her sitting at the table with us while we sipped our own drinks. Little Caroline decided to take a catnap during the coffee break...maybe next year little C! Also, we're trying to get Ella potty trained (let the saga continue!) but she did recognize the bathroom in Starbucks and told us she had to use the potty! Yeah! But of course assisting a toddler in a public restroom isn't exactly the best thing in the world...especially when Ella refused to sit on the toilet with the paper cover. Take trust in knowing that Erika pleaded for the paper but she would have none of it. Gulp. Guess there are worse things???
In any event, we've got two little Valentine's this year and after an early dinner for both, Tim and Erika enjoyed our favorite bottle of wine coupled with a yummy salmon dinner...this time, just the two of us!
