Valentine’s Day Heart “Attack” surprise for the girls

Our family had a blast celebrating Valentine’s Day together!  Jake and I went out the Saturday before Valentine’s for a Date Night and to celebrate.  On Valentine’s Day I took goodies and helped at the girls class party as well as celebrated with the family that evening.  It was a fun relaxing time together.  The girls loved having an extra special dinner together in the candlelight as a family.    For dinner we a fun conversation as we ate steaks, baked potatoes, fresh vegetables, bread, fresh fruit salad, Cherry Limeade punch, and cheesecake.  Here is a little tidbit from our Valentine’s Day celebrations:

Heart shaped cinnamon rolls for breakfast

It was a wonderful Valentine’s Day with our family!  We had a great time decorating, talking, celebrating, and enjoying our time together as a family.  Thankful for days when we can relax and celebrate our love for each other.  Although, we spent time this week to focus on our love it is important that this isn’t just a once a year activity.  Taking the time to celebrate our love regularly is just as important.
