Happy Valentine's Day! I hope everybody is feeling loved today. I like Valentine's day as just a special day to show others love. It doesn't have to be romantic love, just kindess love. Last week Eva made these cards to send to her grandparents and great-grandparents and had a fun time gluing all the pieces on each of the hearts. It only took about 3 days of back and forth glue sessions to make 5 cards to send. She was really proud of them.
I took advantage of that beautiful snow to get a good photo of her in a Valentine's outfit. I thought it would be cute to have her holding hearts on a twine but she didn't quite get it. Oh, well...I'm sure everybody still enjoyed the photo.
Ryan is at a conference today so we made plans to go to Dallas and spend the afternoon with my mom and Grandma Dede. I am IN LOVE with this photo. I will be framing this one for sure. Such a beautiful photo of three of my favorite girls! And they are all in Valentine's colors so that makes it even better.
Part of our plan today was to pass out Valentine's cookies to the residents and workers at the place where Dede lives. We decorated them yesterday and I wish I had caught on camera the moment when Eva POURED sprinkles all over the first cookies. Like a mountain of sprinkles. Haha, I hope that whoever ended up with that cookie is a big sprinkles fan!
I really wanted to teach Eva that today was about showing love to others and not just eating sweets or getting little gifts. She was so sweet handing out the cookies and would walk up to each person and say, "Here you go. Cookie. VALENTINE!" It made my mama heart swell with joy to see her being so friendly to everybody.
I will have other days (like tomorrow!) to enjoy going on dates and celebrating romance with my husband. One day in 20 years Eva will be allowed to date a boy also. Until then I hope she always remembers how many people love her. I hope to create in her a desire to be a blessing to others. And I hope she doesn't burst from all those sprinkles she's consumed :)
