Earlier, I told you how much I loved Valentine’s day and this year solidified those amorous sentiments even more. My valentine is soooooo incredibly sweet (and handsome!) and he went out of his way to make the day extra special for me. He’s good at showing love like that…
Wrexy has to leave early on Fridays for his Wyoming sale, so on Thursday morning, we celebrated a little early with heart pancakes.
Sawyer thought these were fantastic! I thought they turned out cute, too. I ended up putting my batter into a condiment bottle and squeezing it out onto the griddle that way – super easy!
I woke up Friday morning to these beauties…
Our neighbor is a {fabulously creative} florist and she put this together for him in a vintage flout sifter, no less! EEP! I was THRILLED! I absolutely LOVE fresh flowers and these are still going strong. Every time I see them on the table I just feel joyful – love them!
The night before, I threw up a little curtain and some hearts and put everyone’s little gifts out. I like to show love like that…
The day before, Sawyer wanted to make cards, so I made one for her and Wryder and I’m happy to report that it was his favorite gift. Probably because it was the most edible, but hey – I’ll take it.
We got daddy off to work and we whipped up some cupcakes for the neighbors. Little miss likes to share the love like that…
Cubbie bear is at our house again this week, so he got to help! Sawyer is a great batter mixer AND sprinkler – check out the finished products…
She was feeling pretty rotten by the end of the day, but she had energy enough to put on her fancy dress for our V-day dinner. Daddy was home by supper so we made steak, potatoes, squash/zucchini and garlic bread – four of his favorites!
It was just a lovely day! I love my husband and I really, really want him to know that. I don’t really buy into this “I don’t need a certain day to make sure my spouse knows that I love them” stuff. You should absolutely make sure they know they are loved every day, but there is definitely nothing wrong with taking a specific time to refresh and renew those sentiments by putting that love into action, ya know? Wrex does a great job of showing me love on a daily basis and he did especially so on Valentine’s day, making my love for him grow all the more. Everyone should want a love like that…
I hope you all had special days with your loves and more than that, I hope that you know the One who loves you more than all the rest. The Lord’s love is so pure and so perfect…He never hurts our feelings…He’s always present and available…He doesn’t disappoint…He doesn’t love us only when we’re at our best…He loves us no matter where we go or what we do or who we’re with…
We’ve (obviously) been talking a lot about this love thing and talking to Sawyer about how God loves us. Our family prayer has been to love like that…Lord, help me to love like that…
