Valentine's Day!

Madison couldn't wait to open her Valentine's Day gift this morning.

What could be inside?

Yummy! A container full of Tootsie Rolls, which are Madison's favorite candy.

A cute butterfly box of chocolate.

You make my heart flutter!

Madison was most excited when she saw what was inside of the heart shaped box.

Her very first real necklace!

She loves all of the charms that Mommy picked and can't wait to add more to it.

Jocelyn finally woke up to open her Valentine's Day gift.

(Gotta love the bed head and Christmas pajamas.)

She seems excited about what is inside.

A box full of heart shaped marshmallows because marshmallows are her favorite.

Both of the girls loved their candy boxes, but Jocelyn said the marshmallows were her favorite gift.

Ladybug box of chocolates.

You're my snuggle bug!

Jocelyn also got some cute ladybug bowls.

Jocelyn's cute ladybug plate and bowl set.

The girls were excited to get a special Valentine's Day letter from Daddy.

He also sent each of them a piece of foreign money.

We each got a sweet Valentine from Daddy. He said that ladies that make cards sent over a lot for the soldiers to use to send Valentine's to their families. What a great idea!

Clay also surprised me for my Valentine's Birthday with these beautiful necklaces.

This is a heart shaped Imperial Topaz. The colors in the stone are beautiful.

This is a Lapis Lazuli necklace. It is the birthstone for December. Top quality Lapis Lazuli is mined where he is deployed.

I am definitely missing being with my Valentine today, but he has gone above and beyond to make today as special for me as he can from halfway around the world. We are all looking forward to his return in July. It can't come soon enough. We love you, Clay and are looking forward to being together next Valentine's Day!
