Valentine's Day

We just celebrated a day of love and it was so fun to watch Bentley as I went through all of her Valentine's cards with her. She'd ask me what each one said and who it was from, and smiled or giggled after each one. Or if there was one that said "cute" she would say "I'm not cute! I'm beautiful!" It's amazing how seriously she takes these cards and the positive reinforcement from anyone. It's so important to tell my kids I love them, and I can't forget about the amazing husband I have as well. He has worked so hard to provide for our family, and still finds time to play and read with the kids and spend time together with us. If I need him to be somewhere or do something for me, he fully commits to it and follows through with whatever it is I am asking. I can't imagine life without him. I feel pretty spoiled and just love my little family so much!
On Valentine's day, we went over to Kim Johnson's house for a little party with breakfast, crafts and socializing. Then Bentley had school later that day and we brought the snack which we had made together the night before - pink heart shaped rice krispies. We also brought her Valentines cards she had prepared. We had a family home evening the night before where we talked about love, put their cards together, made the snack, and I also made these fizzy hearts with baking soda so the kids could pour vinegar on them and watch it bubble. Bentley came home from school with a bag full of cards and some cookies she had decorated. The cutest thing was, she had already chosen which chocolates and goodies she was going to share with Deacon! She is so sweet sometimes. We also had Play School the next day where we exchanged cards again with more friends. Bentley definitely LOVES giving gifts to people.
