Valentine Picnic

The Anderson Family had a great Valentine's Day! Abby had fun at her little school party. She decorated cookies and exchanged Valentine cards. Hers were Minnie and Mickey. We had fun making them during the snow days. Nonnie came over and went walking with us. The weather has been gorgeous!

I got to have a long chat with my best friend, Ruth. I don't take for granted talking to her on the phone now that she is back in Texas. We were deprived of phone dates when she lived in China for 18 months. I also had a good visit with both of my grandmothers.

Brent surprised us when he got home with cards, perfume and a singing Mickey and Minnie. We started a tradition this year of having a romantic indoor picnic complete with candles and twinkle lights. Caroline fell asleep for her evening nap, but Abby loved it! We will definitely do it every year on Valentine's Day night. Thanks everyone for a special Valentine's Day! As Brent said, while we were eating, "These moments are what life is all about."
Abby chows down on her spaghetti. Notice all of her friends joined us on the blanket.After we ate, we opened the Valentine cards that came in the mail and went through Abby's bag of school cards. She had fun trying to blow out the candle.
