My Valentine

Every day I am blown away by the ways I find love in this amazing world God has created. The little things can be so beautiful, if we open our eyes to see them. Last night when I was putting Lydia down to bed, I went in to check on her as she was changing her night gown and she gave me a gift. The sweetest gift I have received in a long time. She made me a valentine.

She misspelled my name, and instead of caring she said I was crying; a most beautiful gift. I gave her a hug and told her how much I loved her, I hope she knows. I thanked God for a most beautiful gift and for the reminder of His love.

The Actual Valentine's Day

here are the little gifts I made for the kids and the cards as well.

after breakfast we took off with the Stewarts to Pana. We are here in a very nice little house having a relaxing weekend as the kids don't have school Monday. Another family from the kids school is here so Lydia has been playing outside all day with her friends!

Valentine's Day

I have never really liked Valentine's Day and never really celebrated it. But this year, with the kids I decided I wanted to make the day special for them. I have some little gifts I made for them, but those cannot be reveled until Tomorrow. And am planning to make some heart cookies tonight. A few days ago Katie, Lydia and I decided to make some window decorations. It was really simple using just wax paper and crayons but turned out cute, and most importantly gave us girls an activity to do together! Here are some pictures, of course since they are in front of the window they didn't turn out the greatest but its an idea.
