be my valentine

This year we were able to spend Valentine's Day with those near and dear to our hearts.  Early Thursday morning, Nany arrived bearing gifts and her famous coffee cake.  After chit chatting over thick pieces of coffee cake and steaming cups of Joe, we dropped the little lady off at school, and made our way to Aunt Dawn's for a Valentine's Day brunch, a special treat.  Later in the morning while Nany cared for her littlest valentine, and the little man slumbered I was able to prepare a few items for the evening's Valentine party before having to pick up the little lady from school.  It was a sweet morning of fellowship, cooking, and conversation.  Coming off our year in Cleveland, days spent making memories with extended family members are especially meaningful.

 

 

Each child received a special new plush toy to cuddle and love.

As the day wore one, it became clear that the little lady was not feeling so hot.  I found her fast asleep on her favorite chair before dinner.  For a lady that's always on the go, it is rare to find her in such a position.
