We are having such a fun day! The sun is shining, we're listening to love songs, we're eating candy, and we had a party! Cassidy and Travis hosted their first annual Valentine's Day party. There were 14 of us (kids and adults) here today. We had a pizza lunch, played, and decorated cookies. We are so very, very grateful for the blessing of new and wonderful friends to share days like this with. Thank you, LORD for each and every one of them!!!

Blake!
All the kids love playing on the porch.
There was lots of love being shared. 
The kids traded Valentine hugs and kisses. Here, Blake is going in for a kiss to Joel's foot!

About two seconds later, this was a hug between Trav and Blake:
After lunch we all headed upstairs to play. Cassidy was eager to show everyone her new big girl bed!
Handsome Joel, a future Zoolander methinks. :)
Sweet baby Charlotte, hungry for some puppy.

Cassidy and Drake had fun with Mr. Tomato Head, as Cassidy calls him.
Travis loves Charlotte. She seems to like him a lot too, but in this picture he's clearly enjoying their interaction more than she is! He is very gentle and loving to her though, and pats her head, saying "nice baby" over and over.
My buddy, Drake: cookie decorator extraordinaire.
Happy Valentine's Day!
