{a valentines day}

I think of Valentines Day as a marvelous day to use pink and hearts and have yummy candy.  It is for sure a fun holiday for kids.  As a child I loved decorating my shoe box and taking it to school with a hopeful heart and bringing it home brimming with treats and I like you's.  In high school I wore black on Valentines, and later ended up engaged on Valentines.  Now, I get to experience the holiday as I think it should be
...family fun!

I love showing my children how dear they are to me!


{delicious strawberries and a heart plate = one happy girl}


{more please!!!}


{Henry loves whipped cream just like his mama)



{pure joy}
{He was able to choose what color plate and picked pink, lately he really likes the color)


{Henry picked out Eliza's gift all by himself.  He was so excited to give it to her!  She was wondering what it was:)}


A simple day full of love.  It was so nice to have Gramme and Poppy as part of our day!  I even got to go to lunch with my mom...so fun!  I also started a new tradition this year that the kids love. 
 I found this darling heart shaped rug. 

It is....THEEE LOVE RUG.

We take turns sitting on it before family prayer and everyone takes a turn to say what they love about the person on the rug.  Eliza would sit on it again and again and then look at you expectantly:).  It is going to be a fun tradition to do each year.



{love balloons.... it seemed at first like such a good idea:)}

{Henry was also excited to give Chris the card that he picked out.  He picked cards out for Gramme and Poppy, and also Eliza}

Happy Valentines!
