Sweet Valentine's Day...

Valentines day was busy around here. We had a wedding to attend and family in town. But we did find time for some family sweetness! The day before we all wrote down five things we love about eachother and put them in a jar. I got this wonderful idea from imom.com. Sometimes it is so much easier to focus on the things that irritate us about eachother. We all sat in the living room and pulled each card out and whoever the card was to, they read it out loud. Wow, the kids really enjoyed this. Bryce was thankful, Riley was teary eyed, and Haley didn't know how to handle all the lovey feelings. These card spoke volumes to all of our hearts. We really needed this.
We all got a little choked up when daddy read his card from Riley, because he got emotional about her sweet words. This was so easy to do and such a memory for the kids. I think this will be a Valentine tradition.
