Valentines Day 2010

Valentines Day has been one of those times that over the last few years we have decided to make a bigger deal and have fun, family memories. Not so much because we have to (because Hallmark says) but it's a fun excuse to lavish special memories on each other. So this year we did so again last night. We started out our valentines dinner with having our "dessert first" -- something sweeter than honey. Our love letters from the Lord Jesus. I had filled a fancy heart chocolate box that Steven had given me a few years ago (it was so beautiful I had to keep it!) with scriptures on love in the Bible. Each person took a rolled up paper with the verse on it, and we went around the table and read it.

After that we had dinner and cupcakes. And we got to open our chocolates from Nona and Papa. Then the special homemade cards and little gifts began. The boys each got a pure silver quarter. As you can tell by the pictures...it was a very special time!
