Most know we LOVE Valentines Day at our house. We have traditions that we try very hard to keep and it seems with each yr they are a little more difficult to make happen. This year a combination of Dr’s appts, Ell’s competitions, A’s trip to Africa, and church commitments made it difficult. SO, it was all really rushed but we did keep up with most of our traditions. A and I never get each other anything but instead normally go on a date or even better when we can sneak away for the night! Neither of those have happened but maybe soon!
Lizzie and Millie had their parties at school. Sallie was receiving instruction at home from her teacher during their party time so I stayed home with her and A went to their parties.
A got the girls their teacups and saucers
The girls had to have heart shaped pancakes (another tradition) so A made those Sat morning but apparently we have no pics. He made them pink and the girls loved them. Ell was gone to a competition and we missed her. We are getting a taste of life in a couple of years and I DO NOT like it!
That Saturday night our church had their annual Widow/Widowers Banquet. I love that they do this. I think of the many traditions we do on Valentines Day and I am sure as our girls grow up and leave some of those things will change but I think we will always make it special. So, I am glad that those who have lost their husband or wife get to enjoy a special night for them.
Following the banquet our lives got crazier than normal! More to come on that!!!
