~ February 14th ~
Valentine's Day morning must be met with Valentine's Day goodies!
This year there was a red and white striped box awaiting each of the big girls.
And some candy {of course!}.
And inside those red and white striped boxes were...stationary kits!
{And JUMBO push pins}
After opening their gifts they ate warm cinnamon rolls covered in orange glaze.
Then Elsa and Lorelai searched through our children's books to find every one with a Valentine theme.
Behold, our collection:
Impressive, no?
Alexandra presented me with this Valentine, written on new stationary from her Valentine box: 
It was one of those letters that you keep forever. The kind, I'm sure, that I will pull out of a shoe box some 50 years from now to read and re-read and reflect upon how good life was [is].
