It is a little late but Happy Valentines Day everyone!
Elspeth’s celebration began a day early when she and I sent to cooking class. There she made tomatoe soup, heart shaped grilled cheese and then, her favourite, chocolate dipped strawberries. She enjoyed them at the class but then enjoyed sharing them with her sister and Baba even more.
We started the morning with the girls coming downstairs to a table bearing a valentine and a small gift. They are both into pillows right now so that is what they got – small heart pillows. I would love to say that I made them a special breakfast but my fibro has been flaring lately so I ditched that part of the celebration.
Both girls got to celebrate valentines at school. Elspeth was THRILLEd to bring home a decorated box filled with cards and candy. She kept putting the stuff into and then out of her box while wearing a smile. Katrine’s school marked the day with a ‘red and white’ day. She too was tickled pink with her bag of cards but a bit sad that Elspeth got more candy.
When daddy got home both girls had made him special cards. Katrine had also made a card and gift for me. As you can see, she was proud as punch to share them with us Then he gave the girls big heart cookies which were devoured before bubble baths and bed.
