The Pierce Family: Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day! We enjoyed scrumptious heart shaped pancakes, heart shaped strawberries, and strawberry milk for breakfast.

I feel so lucky to be loved by these beautiful girls!

After the breakfast dishes were cleaned the girls opened their Valentine's from cousins, grandparents, and us.

We then spent the afternoon painting "sparklies" on our fingers and toes.

After agreeing not to buy gifts-- Eric surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, blue topaz earrings, chocolates, a teddy bear, and lavender bath scents. What a sweetie! I swear I married the greatest guy ever! It seems like I have loved him forever. I remember introducing myself to him in the seventh grade and becoming fast friends. And I can recall the exact moment (almost 13 years ago) I started seeing him as potential boyfriend material rather than my "buddy."

We spent the evening watching Eric's intermural soccer team get slaughtered by some friends in our ward.

Lant Family said...: How nice of Eric to get you a nice gift, even if it seems like everyone had that same idea. I am sure it took some planning and thinking ahead to think of something he knew you would enjoy. Kinsley has some pretty sparkles on her fingers and toes, we should have her get together with Lucy for a nail appointment. We love to paint fingernails at our house. Glad you guys had a nice Valentines, hope you had a nice birthday, can't wait to hear all about it.; February 17, 2011 at 9:45 AM

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
