Valentine's Day

I've been trying to prepare the girls all week for Valentine's Day.  I explained to them that Valentine's Day was really a day for adults to tell each other that they love each other and to give small gifts to each other.  It really isn't a day like Christmas or birthdays and to not expect to get a bunch of presents.  Little did I know that they would get more gifts than the adults in this house!!  They got a package from Trudy, a package from Ken and Sherry, cards from Miss Barbara and from their Great Grandparents, cupcakes from Mr Dave and Miss Jaimee, and flowers and cookies from their daddy.  They were spoiled rotten!!!

I love the idea of girls getting little gifts for Valentine's Day from their daddy - the man in thier life.  So ever since the girls were born, I've left Valentine's Day totally up to Ben.  I might bake cookies with them or make heart pancakes for them, but any gift comes from their daddy.  Last year he got them little stuffed animals, and Bailee still sleeps with hers every night.  It is a bad thing if we can't find Monkey.  This year he decided to get them their first flowers.  They were so excited.

I also got flowers.  Here are all the flowers together.

I had wanted to make pancakes for breakfast this morning, but Sunday mornings are a little rushed around here so I made them for dinner last night instead.

This morning they got to open their package from Grandma Sherry and Papa Ken.  They loved it all!

We hope that you had a Happy Valentine's Day with those that you love.
