This year I made Valentine bags for my sweeties and filled them with candy, chocolates, and a few of their favorite things.
Lily got her first professional haircut. It is quite a bit shorter than I thought it would be, but she is still the most adorable four year old I know! Plus I think it makes her look younger, which is a good thing since she is growing up way too fast!
This year we had a fondue party for Valentine's day. The kids loved it!

It has been a busy week. I'm happy it's Friday! We are having a girl weekend at my house. Our plans include making chocolate chip cookies, having a tea party, and finishing a sewing project.

Valentine’s Day! Each year my husband and I make a yummy dinner together and spend the evening playing games with our kids.
Here are some of the games we played last year.
1. measure everyone’s smile and whoever has the biggest gets a surprise.
2. hide a bunch of hearts around the house with fun surprises written on them. (stay up 20 minutes later…no chore for the day…5 minute foot massage… pick out something at the dollar store…)
3. play hot potato with a big heart pillow. Each time the music stops the child holding the heart gets a piece of candy.
4. say a word that has something to do with Valentine’s day and give everyone two minutes to draw a picture that represents that word. Whoever wins gets to be the judge for the next round.
Do you have something special planned for Valentine’s day? If so, I would love to hear about it!
first of all in your own house. give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to your next door neighbor. let no one ever come to you without leaving better or happier. be the living expression of God's kindness." ~ Mother Teresa
