We were having a lazy Saturday morning before we started running to activities when the doorbell rang with Valentine cheer. Bill likes to spoil all of his girls with a little Valentine treat and sends flowers to us every year. The girls were very excited (I don't think they remember that he sends them something so it is always a surprise!) with pretty vases that had a cute bear and rose, very girly! Erin went running through the house carrying her vase to show everyone.

Last week I went to Pizazz It and picked up this adorable card kit for the girls. It had 25 valentines to assemble and they loved it! We then added these to our collection to deliver this morning to the nursing home. We have been delivering Valentine's there for the last couple of years and the kids really enjoy it. We had close to 35 Valentine's this year so we were there visiting for a while after church this morning.
Ready to deliver!
We made a big dinner and ate by candlelight in the dining room. Gretchen and Mimi joined us for dinner, dessert, and valentine exchanging. It was a great night! Dessert is molten chocolate cake, fresh berries, and homemade vanilla ice cream. I only get around to making it once a year but it is so worth it!
Love
Twin love!
Sisterly love
I am so proud of these boys! They really don't care much about Valentine's Day but they always rise to the occasion. Both of them spent a great deal of time making their own Valentine's to give to all of the family. They both make them personal with poems and pictures that are well received and treasured.
