Naki and I have never been too huge on celebrating Valentine's Day for each other. We both figure that if you can't show your loved one through out the year how much they mean to you, one day to play catch up just isn't enough time. A couple of years ago we started focusing on the kids instead. It's been so much fun. We pick out a special Valentine's card for each girlie, along with some goodies and this year, a little bracelet. We write a special message in each girls' card specifically for them, which I've really grown to love. It gives me a little time to reflect a little bit more on each little angel and what they mean to me. So we started out the morning with some fun cuddling with all of them in our bed and passing out their cards. Naki then took the girlies down to feed them breakfast, and one of them came upstairs with a glass of strawberry milk and this...
Is he cute, or what? We spent a good portion of the rest of the morning and afternoon making and decorating cookies to deliver to the fam.
Here is the finished product of the girlies' creative cookie geniuses.
Y'all know I have sensory issues. . .you should have seen me trying to remain calm and cheerful while walking on my tiptoes since I couldn't stand the feeling of all the sprinkles sticking to the bottom of my feet. What is WRONG with me?!After naps we made all the deliveries and then scooted home for baths and a shower for mom, finally!, because our Stake had the adult session of church Stake Conference that evening, for which the Javier's lovingly agreed to babysit. We picked up some heart pizzas at Papa Murphy's for one and all to enjoy. Aunt Candy is way to kind to the girlies. . .she picked off the pepperonies that the girls don't care for and left just a little bit on the corner of the heart for those that do like them.
Ummm... I think our kitchen might be getting a tad bit too small...
While we were gone Auntie surprised the girlies by making chocolate covered strawberries, and for Malia who doesn't care for strawberries, she also made chocolate covered bananas. Whooeeee! They were good. . . Thanks Javiers, for giving us peace of mind while we were enjoying ourselves at Stake Conference. We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the evening with each other.We hope you all had as great as a Valentine's Day as we did. . . umas to all of you.
