Valentine's Day--Lots of Sugar, No Calories



VALENTINE'S DAY
***************************

To most of us, this happy day means love,
cards,
candy,
flowers,
dinners,
hearts,
music,
romance.

In our family, this sweet day is Sweet Gigi's birthday! This year she is 6.
Grandma bakes her a heart cake every year
and she doesn't mind that my cake decorating skills are quite rudimentary.
As long as there are candles to blow out, all's well.



On this day she met her new baby cousin Abigail as we all trouped in to her schoolroom during the Valentine's Day/Birthday Party. Already flying high from all the attention, she bubbled over with excitement over Abigail's arrival.


Later, all 3 cousins tried on the birthday hat and got acquainted.
And despite all the candy, birthday cake and ice cream,
for me, this was the sweetest part of Valentine's Day
