Be mine!

As tradition would have it our brother and son, David, gave all us girls Valentines. He is such a dear! He bought all us girls flowers and a Dark Chocolate candy bar! Since he worked on the house all day on the 14th he gave us our flowers and candy yesterday. Like every year he gets comments about all the flowers when at the store while buying them. While the gifts were on the conveyor belt at the store the clerk asked if all that was because he was late! Nope, I have a mom and have 5 sisters! hehehehehe!

David with a group of extremely happy girls. I don't think they have ever had a whole bar of chocolate to themselves before! (Oh, Lydia didn't get one...the flowers were enough. Read below and you will find out why!)

Lydia was in her own little world when David gave her the pot of flowers. I don't really know how to explain it because you just would have to see her to understand. The pictures above shows a little what she looked like all evening. She was SO happy about the flowers that she HAD to carry them around ALL evening. She doted on them and kept saying, "Dadid, me." (Interpreted, "David gave them to me!"). Then this morning when she woke up she bee-lined it past all the arms that greet her in the morning and found her flowers. She walked into the kitchen clutching the pot, looking a little dazed since she had just jumped out of bed and was still half asleep. But she was happy, she had her flowers.

We all love our flowers too! Thank you David! :)

How sweet! What a blessing it must be to have a big brother! It is a testament to the way your family was raised.
I always dreamed about having an older brother. Well, Noah is growing up plenty fast!
