valentines loves.



Holidays are getting funner and funner now that the kids are old enough to understand and appreciate them a little bit more. Valentines was so much fun this year! Ellie had the best present she could hope for - a weekend with her cousin Kai. He lives in Idaho. Now these two are not normal 4 year old cousins (they are two weeks apart). They are in love. Seriously. They are going to get married, and there is no talking them out of it. They held hands, danced, and gave each other numerous kisses on the cheeks (we have outlawed kissing on the lips). During sacrament meeing, Kai put his head in Ellie's lap and she played with his hair as they gazed into each other's eyes. Ellie has eyes for no one else. Hopefully they'll grow out of it. :)

We also made valentines cupcakes, heart attacked the girls' bedroom while they were sleeping, and hung out with family. Daddy got all of his little valentines a rose, a balloon, and chocolates. They were in heaven. I got a new blender and some orchids out of it.

They say Valentines is fabricated romance, the day of romantic disapointment, or all about the commercialism, but I sure like it.

Maybe it is a good idea that we live in Idaho instead of just down the street! :) I'm going to have to get pictures from you to add to my kids' scrapbook! Thanks for making it a fun day for my kids!
