Well we managed to stretch Valentine's Day (a completely made-up Hallmark holiday) out
over 3 days. Why not, we've got alot of love (and a lot of candy), to share! It started on Tuesday, because the girls had Valentine's Day parties at their schools, lots of fun (and candy) there. Wednesday, Valentine's Day, was a nice day. Mark went to his early morning Bible study at Bent Tree, and picked up Starbucks for me on the way home. That is what I l
ove about marriage, he knows that coffee at 8:00a.m. is much more appreciated than roses. Thanks Mark!!!!!! He threw in a Starbucks gift card too, he definitely knows the way to my heart. I had fun with the girls for the rest of that day, we made a heart shaped cookie cake, and had a heart shaped pizza for dinner (and also snacked on candy). OH, my father 'n law had a wonderful package delivered to us, and assortment of chocolate covered strawberries! Some had white chocolate, some had dark, some had sprinkles (the girls' favorite), some 
were covered in nuts, coconut, YUM!! We enjoyed these throughout the day too, finished them off on Friday. Thank you grandpa!!!! So on Thursday, the day after Valentine's Day, Mark and I went to lunch together at Macaroni Grill, while the girls were at school. We already pay for them to go to school on Tuesdays & Thursdays, so no point in paying a babysitter on the actual day. Again, we know what works! Fun "holiday". I talked to the girls several times over the week about love, reminding them that mom & dad love them so very much, but that Jesus loves t
hem the most, even more than we can. They learned a scripture at church a while ago..."Love God with all your heart...", but at the end they always say "baboom baboom baboom" and make a heart pumping motion (I can't really describe the motion), but it's cute!! Love you all.

Love you April, Taylor and Annika

how we met not "meet"...Love does not require knowing how to spell
How did you manage to make a heart-shaped pizza? Very creative, my friend. Glad you guys took a few days to get it all in. That much love can't be celebrated in ONE day!
