Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day to all my wonderful friends and family. I hope your day was filled with love and you had a chance to show someone in your life a little extra love today. Valentine's Day is not an over celebrated holiday in our house, but we try to do a little something for the day. The girls woke up this morning to find a few goodies from their daddy. I didn't get a chance to take the picture before Katie ripped into hers but you can see a little of what they got. They each got a rose, some candy and little stuffed animal.


I even had a surprise in my office chair when I went to start work this morning. My sweet hubby gave me beautiful red roses, a very sweet card and a box of chocolate. Just so you know Chris, I wouldn't want to share my life with anyone else either. You truly are my best friend!

The girls asked for a vase for their flowers, I only had one small vase so I thought it was so sweet how they decided to "share" it. They put both their roses in the vase and then Katie got Bree's table from her room and they put in the hall right in between their rooms.

Instead of buying gifts for everyone from me I decided to cook a romantic dinner for my three valentines. The menu included steak (yes, the girls love steak), potatoes, broccoli, corn and cheese fondue with bread and apples to dip in it.
Katie decorated the table for me while I cooked.
My three valentines......my life wouldn't be the same without them.


After dinner while Chris and I cleaned, the girls were off playing. I heard lots of laughter and then I saw Samson come running around the corner. Poor Samson...it was only a matter of time before he was dragged into their dress up time. He was a good sport about it, even though it he looks pretty ticked off in this picture.

To end...I will put my favorite verse about love because it encompasses all that we should strive to be when we love someone.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
