HaPpY Valentine's D💘y!

I love Valentine's Day!  It was LG's first holiday home the week after we returned from China and I just love it!!  

While it's been cold and quite snowy outside, (midwest in February.....uggghh) we had a great Valentine weekend!

I caught my little Valentine doing one of her favorite things, sketching.

He's been my Valentine for 30 years.  Thank you Matt for surprising and spoiling us girls this weekend!

Our furry Valentine doing what she loves most.

Gracie got surprised with her very own refrigerator for her studio.

Melt my heart...Lily Grace gifted me with 6 new Japanese fishing floats.  I learned about these several years ago and how they are used in Japan and get trapped in circular currents of the Pacific Ocean and wash up on the coasts of Alaska, Oregon, Washington and California. Collectors then comb the shores to find them.   Matt gifted me this antique handmade dough bowl about 8 years ago for Valentine's Day, along with my first few fishing floats.  Throughout the years, I've received more floats for various holidays and birthdays from family.  It's quite special.  Every time I look at this bowl, I'm reminded just how much I am loved because it's filled by people who love me.  It sits beautifully in the center of our dining room table.  Thank you Gracie!  It's been a while since it's been added to and you went out of your way to so something so special for me.  I love you so much!  

Lily loves giving Matt a hard time.  She gifted him his favorite golfballs, but not without getting in a laugh.
