The Valentine's fun started early when Kyla was assigned to make a "Bottle Beastie" to take to school to collect her valentine's in. We decided to make a pig out of our bottle.
And, of course, we got our valentine's all ready.....
My favorite valentine moment came the day before Valentine's Day. A normal Thursday afternoon. We had just finished Kyla's homework, it was almost time for Tessa to eat, was working on getting some dinner ready before Kyla needed to go to gymnastics and our doorbell rang. I peeked out really quickly and saw the side of a box. In my head I was thinking it was probably a kid selling something that I was probably going to say no to. But, to my complete joy I opened the door to see this. Our sweet man standing there with valentine flowers for each of us. I almost cried. I wasn't surprised because he loves us so well, but to feel that kind of love in the middle of a hectic late Thursday afternoon was just what my heart needed. Valentine's Day is so fun like that.

On the morning of Valentine's Day it was fun to surprise the girls with heart shaped pancakes. How can you not love a day that starts with pancakes in a special shape?
The snow was falling throughout the day, which made my snow loving heart happy.
And inside the love celebration continued before Troy and I were able to go out for dinner just the two of us......
So thankful for the love God has given us and the love we get to share in our home everyday.
