Valentine's Day

This past Sunday was Valentine's day, of course, so we started our day bright and early since we go to the early service. We had a great day of church, lunch at Olive Garden, quick naps, and then back to church for myself, Abby, and Hallie for the children department's "love and friendship" party. I think that was my favorite part of the day. All the children brought a dozen cookies and they made valentine's for some of the shut-in senior adults in our church. Then we split up into groups and went around town delivering cookies and Valentines to the shut in senior adults. What a blessing it was to the senior adults and those of us who went to visit them. Abby even met a lady who shares her birthday!

Our girls' Valentine's bags full of goodies!



You would've thought it was Christmas they were so excited to open them!







Quick pictures of us before church with our "Valentines". Their Christmas dresses doubled as their Valentine's Day dresses! Gotta get as much use out of them as I can!





Abby took this one:



Making Valentines for the senior adults.

I took Abby, Hallie, and Mikala and we went to visit three of our senior adults!

We discovered while talking to this lady that she and Abby have the same birthday... just 75 years apart!

Our most special visit was to Mrs. Gussie Love. She was Justin's, Abby's, Hallie's, and Lilly's Sunday school teacher in the 2 & 3 year old department. Back in October she fell and broke her shoulder, then had a stroke. She seemed to be doing well, but is still having a lot of trouble with her hands. We were so glad to get to visit with her. We all love Mrs. Gussie!

When everyone was done we went back to church for pizza and cookies! What a great Valentine's Day!
