We hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day and experience as much love for your someone(s) special on this day as we have!We had fun this year getting a little something for our girls. Krista was SO excited about her princess panties; and, as is apparent, Emma just fell in love with the adorable--and VERY soft--purse we got her (I got it at "Holy Cow"... thanks Britt!). It has a little carrier attached to hold a matching stuffed elephant. I just love holidays! Isn't it so fun to do little things to make the ones you love happy!?!?
As an interesting side note: Yesterday, I drove up to Lehi to pick up my nephew to bring him back to my house. (My sister and I had arranged a baby-sitting swap for V-day.) When I left around 4, it had just started snowing here; when I got to Lehi, all of a sudden I couldn't see. It was snowing SO hard that I actually wasn't sure where I was. Miraculously, I somehow managed to exit at the right spot, and made it to her house. I decided to wait it out for an hour or so (since I was under the impression that this wasn't supposed to be a big storm) before trying to venture back to my house. But the blizzard didn't let up. It took my bro-in-law 2 1/2 hours to get home from work--what normally is a 15 min. drive--and he was a lucky one. Many people were forced to simply abandon their cars and walk home. It was INSANE! I wanted to be with my family so badly that I tried to leave at around 9 pm--knowing that many cars were still stuck on the road and it would probably take me several hours to get home--but I couldn't even make it up a hill outside their house. Needless to say, my sister and her husband missed their special date (sorry guys) and we all (including my other sister and her fam who were trying to get back home and couldn't make it) hung out and, despite everything, had a fun evening. Thanks for letting us stay at the "Weeks' Inn" (where the service is top notch!) However, I did still miss my fam VERY much especially since I had planned to make a big, nice V-day breakfast in the morning. But we're all safe and well and together now!

I am so glad you made it home safe. It is so scary driving in weather like that. It looks like Krista got those princess panties! Happy Valentine's Day!
that was some crazy weather indeed - you're such a good momma to make such a special v-day for your cuties!
I can't believe that you got stuck in that. I was watching it on the news while in provo where it was completely dry. I couldn't believe it! I am glad that you are safe!
Hey, at least we had a fun night at home with you,Tim and the Jones fam, right? :) It is all good, I am over it (finally!) he he he
You were the best sister to come to my rescue! I love you sooooooooooooooooo much.
