In the past few years that we have had kids, Shawn and I decided that we were going to celebrate Valentine's Day as a family. We want to teach our kids about showing love every day but also especially on this day. I think of Valentine's Day as a day to be reminded about how we are giving love to others.We started our day with heart shaped pancakes, bacon, and red pomegranate juice. Shawn read a few verses from I Cor. 13 from his new bible. We have been trying desperately to teach our girls that love is patient, kind, not selfish, and giving!
Shawn bought the girls balloons since they LOVE them! He also bought me some roses and a really nice card.
For lunch we had heart shaped sandwiches, Cherry 7-up, and Valentine cookies. Do you sense a red theme here?!:)
I was going to make heart shaped pizza for dinner but instead opted for the pizza already made. Way easier and I didn't want to over-kill the hearts!:)
Little Dude was happy just sleeping in his swing and trying to eat his new bib. Thanks Grandma!
I encourage anyone who reads this to make an extra effort today to show love to your family. Give them an extra hug or kiss, call them, or even just say and extra "I Love You". Small acts of kindness that show someone you thought about them could make their day!
