Happy Valentine's Day!

We started our Valentine celebration yesterday:
We played outside in the snow (actually in the the snow-covered ice crust...close enough)....





Gideon played too...he loves having a woods in his own backyard!


Then we got dressed up in our cutest Valentine-y colors....



Then Betsy fell asleep on the floor just as we were getting ready to go out for dinner. We made it to Olive Garden and had a really nice dinner...just a little later than we had planned. Oh well...at least she was well rested and in good spirits! :)



Today we got gussied up and bought treats to take to Daddy's office. Betsy wore her very stylish new "Love" shirt from Uncle Joel and Aunt Wendy and Cousin Jake, along with her patent leather Mary Janes. We had fun spreading some Valentine cheer at Daddy's work!
Then, Betsy and I went to our new favorite restaurant, Flavors, and had a yummy lunch (portabello chicken wrap for me, baby turkey sub for Betsy). Then we shared a giant (and I do mean GIANT--the size of a dinner plate) chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and whipped cream! I still feel slightly sick from that, but it was fun anyhow.





Hope your Valentine's was full of sweets to eat and sweet ones to hold!

That picture of Betsy leaning up against the tree--the first picture in this post, is absolutely georgous.

What a beautiful, funny little girl.
