Signs of love everywhere

I love Valentine's Day, actually I just love holidays. I had already decided around New Year's what I was going to do this year for the Grandma's and Grandpa's. We made chocolate covered topiary's. Hunter painted the pots and the styrofoam balls, Deke put them together, and then I prettied them up with chocolates in mini muffin cups and ribbon. I was so excited making them and I think they turned out really cute. If anyone wants to know how to make them it is really simple and a really fun gift to give. All the Grandma's seemed to love them. I wish I had had the time to make some for our work places and my visiting teaching sister's but I didn't quite get there. They were so pretty I didn't want to eat them. :) We decided to give the kids some books for Valentine's day. I found these cute books for them, for Hunter I found 3-D Dinosaur and 3-D Reptiles and some cute little cow books for Missy Moo. They were so excited about it which made me happy because we can never have enough books. This year Deke did the fourteen days of Valentine's for me which was awesome. I actually got really excited to come home and see what he had waiting for me. Here are just a couple of things that he gave me:

Now I read this and had an idea as to what he bought for me if you get my drift, then I opened it and saw this...

A new straightening iron!!! I jumped up and hugged him I was truly excited. After six years of marriage the term "something hot" has gone from meaning what I thought he was going to get to something practical that I could really use like a straigtening iron. My sister said that it was truly a selfless gift since he probably still wanted to get the other thing but got what I could really use instead. The rest of the days brought different fun things both romantic and practical a pleasant mix. Another fun goodie was a two year extended subscription to my favorite scrapbook magazine. Lots of fun :)
