Queen(s) of Hearts

Celebrating Valentine's Day seems to come very naturally for our three little girls. Their closets are full of pink and red, heart shapes are their favorite, and they are always so full of love.

This year there were a total of three Valentine Parties to go to: Mika's preschool party, Ramona's first grade party, and a neighborhood party!

I was in charge of a little heart walk at the preschool party.

Mika's favorite party craft ever: a spy bottle with pink rice

Ramona was kind enough to share some of her Valentine bounty with her sisters.

Valentine Sunday, before church:

My red velvet, sparkly girls.

Here they are wearing their new purses/scripture bags from Teresa.

Mealtime had some heart-themes that day--lunch was waffles with pink whipped cream and heart-shaped strawberries: 

Dinner was heart-shaped pizza (with some artichoke hearts as a topping)

More heart-shaped strawberries for dessert.

Between Paula's sugary face, Mika eagerly sharing chocolate with me, and sweet little notes from Ramona, these girls were decidedly the queens of Valentine's Day at our house!
