Valentine's Day

God's perfect love is eternal, lasting always and forever.  He pursues us with His love!

 

What a great Valentine's Day!  And, why would it not be great since it was a CBS day?  We all got ready for "school", and all headed out the door at 7:45.  Yes, all of were ready to go!  And, yes, we do this every Thursday.  Mercy usually does not eat at home, though.  I pack her a little breakfast to eat once she gets to her class.  Everyone was set to go with their Valentines ready!  The kids were so excited and happy for the day ahead.  Before we left, we took some pictures.

Mercy in her Valentine's shirt from Gigi.  Yes, I am wearing a scarf as a vest! :)

Josiah heading to school with flowers for Miss Sellers. 

Originally, it was my group's turn to do lunch, but the servants team wanted to serve us instead, so they prepared the meal for the day.  We had a great lunch with lasanga, salad, and dessert: chocolate pound cake and coconut cake.  Yes, I had both, and both were super yummy.

We are all very color-coordinated for Valentine's day!

When I got home I found the kitchen all clean.  (It was not clean when we all left that morning.) Ryan left me some flowers and the new Sandra McCracken cd.

Nothin' says lovin' like a trifle bowl chocolate brownie dessert!

After dinner, everyone else opened presents.  The boys each got a Wii game and Mercy got a toddler air mattress.  I got Ryan some Old Navy athletic shorts and a button-up shirt for work.

An NFL Wii game for Josiah!
(Unfortunately, I'll be taking this game back tomorrow.  Our Wii wasn't able to read it.  I got both of the Wii games from Essex, so I will be able to return it.)

Aedan got a college football Wii game.  Yes, Clemson is an option!

Mercy got a toddler air mattress with a built in pillow and sleeping bag.  This is another great Essex find and much cheaper than at Walmart!

Here she is pretending to be asleep!  hahahaha!  This bed will come in handy for when we travel in a few weeks to Charleston and also at the reunion this summer.
