heart day

As many times as I tell Ella it's "ValentiNe's Day," she still calls it ValentiMes, which I guess is consistent with Christmas time, Easter time, etc.

Last night, as Ella was placing stickers on her classmates' valentines, she accidentally tore one in half and immediately said, "Oh, I can't use that one! It's a broken heart, and it's not broken heart day! It's Valentimes!"

I surprised the girls with a Valentine's Day Breakfast with heart-shaped pancakes, strawberries, pink milk, heart glasses, paper hearts, and (best of all) a beaded heart necklace for each of them. I decorated the dining room with paper hearts and pink and red confetti. They absolutely loved it and, I hope, felt the love I have for them.
