Our little Valentines

Ever since David and I were dating, he has always made me the same Valentine dinner. Steak, baked potato, salad, the works. So we made that dinner again this year, but on the night before Valentine's. On Sunday, we had church until 5 and then a stake choir practice from 6-7:30. So we celebrated the night before. David's mom and stepdad flew in Saturday afternoon then we enjoyed our awesome dinner all together. It was so tasty.

Beautiful tulips!

Every year after the girls are asleep we put cut out hearts all over the walls of their room. They were both excited about that when they woke up. That's the first thing Cyrena told me when she came to wake me up, "Mom I counted 8 hearts on my door!" Then they saw their surprises on the rocking chair....SUCH excitement!

They had to go show Daddy everything.
They each got a book and some chocolates. And Nanny (Aunt Lynette) had sent them chocolate suckers. Natalie's never left her mouth (except for when she let me unwrap it) until every speck was gone. It was the first thing Cyrena polished off as well.

It was a great Valentine's

You remind me of my mom. She made every holiday and birthday a special one. It's been a hard realization to know that the whole world does not celebrate every holiday like my mom does.

Good job, still going to choir.
Last week I just started up the first one our ward's had in years- yikes. Not much hope w/ me in charge, but it'll be good to have one.
