Valentines Day

Candy Bribery does wonders to get these two to show their sibling love on Heart's Day. Miller had a mouth full of gummies so this was all he could do. I sure could kiss all over these two LOVES. XOXO!

While brother was at school, I got Eliza Kate all gussied up in her Valentine's best for a special Valentine's Day mission. Since we're pretty sure that her love language is Mylar Balloons, we journeyed to the grocery store to go balloon shopping. As you can imagine, it filled her little heart with lots of love for mommy. She picked out a pink "pincess" balloon.
We couldn't forget about Miller. Eliza Kate helped me pick out a Froggy holding a heart to win him over after school. The big surprise for him was the matchbox car weighing it down. Oh the joys of little Valentine gifts that bring joy to these two.

Grandmama and Poppy stopped over too on their way out to dinner. They came bearing gifts which sent a flurry of electrified energy throughout the house. Eliza Kate was really into her greeting card with reflective mirror inside:) Precious!

 

We exchanged Valentines with them too. Miller wanted to make special handmade cards to present to them. Our hand print cards really turned out cute!

We capped off our evening with a family Valentine dance party in the living room. Miller and Eliza Kate played a chasing game with balloons in tow around the couch to the music. Bobbing balloons following them added to all the Valentine excitement. Eliza Kate made sure with screams & shrills to communicate a "hands off" my balloon attitude to Miller. As long as he kept his distance, she would chase him. She made it very clear that this was her "pincess" balloon alone. I told you she took this love language seriously:)

Happy Valentines Day 2012 from our family to yours....

While our family loved partying with sweets & balloons, it's our heart's desire that our children fully understand God's love for them on this special holiday. His love fully outweighs our love for them. I  still can't fully wrap my brain around that one. I do know it's true!

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are...1 John 3:1
