Rachel has been excited all week for Valentine's. She received a valentine in the mail at the beginning of the week and has been carrying the valentine around all week long. So, ever since then she's been saying "it's almost Valentine's". Rachel even insisted on wearing her underwear with hearts on them one day in honor of Valentine's. It's been so cute to see her excitement. So, one can only imagine how excited she was when her daddy brought her home her own set of roses. Rachel received little roses and Mommy received long-stem roses. Here in Holland them come in tens, so we each got 10. 
I have come to the realization that I should probably be better about making these little holidays fun for the little ones. I remember my mom always making pink heart-shaped pancakes when we were growing up. She would also set our valentine treats on our breakfast plates. What good memories! I need to start making some holiday traditions in our home so that our children can have sweet memories to look back on as well. I think Andy's already got one started. My guess is that next year Rachel will be asking where her bouquet of flowers is! :)
