Happy Valentine's Day!

Today we went to Allie's party in the morning and Katie and Emmie's parties in the afternoon.  After school we decorated the table for a family candle light dinner.  Everyone had a balloon at the chair and a flashing red rose (ha...courtesy of the Dollar Store).  Everyone had made cards for everyone else.  Rich brought home each of them a pack of seeds that they will be planting with him this spring.  As he gave them to him he explained why he had chosen each pack for them.  Allie received sweet peas because we sometimes call her sweet pea.  Katie received some hot pink zinnias because she loves that color.  Emmie received morning glories because she isn't a morning person and she loves blue.  Lastly, Rich said that he bought Will the 'manliest' he could find...snap dragons.  :)

In the past, I've always tried to get everyone dressed in coordinating clothes and get a picture.  I didn't even try that this year.  I wanted something more natural and I happen to love this picture.


...and here is a picture while they were waiting for dinner to start.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!
