The celebration of Valentine's Day is different every year -- depending on opportunities, health, time, and life in general. This year circumstances aligned and there were many celebrations! Here are a few pictures:
I had so much fun collecting ideas on Pinterest. I picked out four different valentines for the kids to make. Rachel got to make candy roses:
Andrew made arrows:
David made these cute pencil valentines,
And James made lollipop butterflies.
Our celebrations included a family dinner after church on Sunday. 
Mom always makes sure we have flowers on the table.
And valentines were laid at everyone's place:
There were chocolates gifted by friends:
And candies I found (do you see the peas and carrots candy?):
The sour cherries were the best:
The meal was delicious: roast beef, potatoes, green beans and salad. I had no dried cranberries left for the green beans but found a little bag of frozen red currants in my freezer, picked from our bush this past summer. They were perfect! I can't wait to recreate this dish again.
Sitting around the table is my favorite thing in life I think........
Gluten-free angel food cake with strawberries and cream.
And along matters of the hearts.....Laura had a great report from her cardiologist this morning! She did not even require an echo and can have another appointment in 6-9 months! YAY! More pictures to come.......
