My happy Valentines!

What a sweet Valentines we had this year...filled with lots of my favorite people! It started Thursday at your school, Caroline, with a party. Here is the "Love Quilt" your class made. Each child drew a picture and answered the question..."What is love?" Your picture was of our family (the top yellow one) and it said "Love is Daddy, Mommy and Caitlyn." Thank you, baby.

Here you are with your handmade Valentine bag, waiting to pass out your cards and candy. Mercy, just when I thought we were done with the Christmas candy.....

That afternoon, after we picked up Caitlyn, we went to Mammi's house and made goodie bags for all the residents at Granny's assisted living center, Wellington Place. She was so excited to see us!

You girls really enjoyed handing these out and making the residents smile. What a precious sight to see!!!

Introducing yourself...several times!

Granny loved meeting our smallest Valentine, Josue'.

Speaking of the smallest...here you are, Caroline, loving on the smallest Herring Valentine. Cameron is now 10 months old and not so small anymore!! We went to see Aunt Bela, Lucas and Cameron on Friday morning for a fun Valentine playday.

It was another beautiful and sunny day. You and Lucas rode bikes for a good long time..he even taught you how to "crash" into his yard. It's good to have boyfriends!

Aunt Bela and I helped you two make Valentine cupcakes....the funnest part was eating them at the end!!!!!!!!!!

All smiles at Caitlyn's class party on Friday afternoon

Valentines Day itself was a quiet one around the house(which I treasure). Mr. Travis called to see if he could cook us supper. Of course, we accepted!!! He made us a wonderful Thai meal and was gracious enough to let you both help him. It was delicious.

At the table, we went around and said three things we loved. Caitlyn, your three things were swimming, pickles, and princesses. Caroline, your three were Paisley, "Lambie", and Coal. Thank you, girls, for being my Valentines every day of the year!!!!!!!!!!
