Happy Valentine's Day

Hello!! We really have had a great day and I wanted to share some of the details. First, both girls had parties at school and church so we've been eating lots of candy (ugh!!). Brad hand-delivered 12 long-stem roses to me at work Friday and they are beautiful. Of course both girls made homemade Valentine's boxes and notes, and we got them a gift with a ceramic heart craft project and the new movie "Up." And we baked a Valentine's cake special just for dad - chocolate cake with white icing!! Yum.















Now for a sweet idea I found on my favorite blog (Becky Higgins). She created this "Love Notes" box for some special friend sand we did the same thing. It's a pretty simple idea...a plastic container filled with pens, post-it notes and candy. But most important a note explaining the process. Each family member should spend the week leaving little notes in unexpected places - sharing their thoughts with each other. Specifically what they appreciate or love about one another. We've had lots of fun with ours - it's always exciting to discover a love note around the house.




Finally, a look at Olivia's latest art project. They made these cute tool belts in her class and she thinks she's pretty cute wearing it!!
