Happy Valentines Day!!

Happy Valentines Day!!!!

I have always loved Valentines Day!
Here is a list of things I look forward to on this special day each year!

* Sugar Cookies
* Dressing up (for me this means putting on make- up, doing my hair, and wearing a cute outfit)
* Making a suprise dinner for Lance... and Beth... and Izzy
* Planning something cute for Lance (last year it was a scavenger hunt around the city)
* Dressing up my girls in cute outfits
* Making some sort of dessert that I don't usually make... sometime I even get brave and try new recipes!
* Listening to romantic music during the day
* Drinking.... I wish....I mean drinking the sparkling cider I have been saving for months
* And of course seeing what surprise Lance has in store for me

I still have fond memories of decorating my Valentine box with my dad after "we" (aka my dad) built it... it was an awesome birdhouse. I loved staying up the night before Valentines and stuffing candy and cards into the envelopes. I'm sure we all look forward to the day when we get to stuff 30 Valentines with our kids to take to school the next day (Tiff, I guess you are already there, huh?)

I hope you all have a grand day. I must be off to ice some homemade Oreo cookies for MY Valentine, who will be home shortly. As my mom left yesterday I am trying to juggle two kiddo's so my blogging might be a bit slow for a while. Thanks again for all the emails and love.

Love You All!!

What?!? No new pics of Izzy or Beth? Can't wait to see the cute outfits--of the girls or of your's! :-) I totally hear you with the bit about actually getting "ready" and looking cute for V-day. Nathan doesn't get home till 9 tonight so hopefully I still look somewhat decent then, lol!

We LOVED the Valentine you sent us, and have looked at it every day in the kitchen window. What made it even better is that YOU made it! THANK YOU and remember, We love you.
