Valentine's Day in the Hartland

Well, we've just wrapped up V-day in the Hartland with a trip to Applebees for dinner and then back to the casa for cards and gifts. Lia thoroughly enjoyed the day...even though it started out at the dentist office for her first check-up ever. Luckily she passed with flying colors and received an Ariel toothbrush which proved to be just as exciting as any of the candies and other Valentine goodies she got today.

My own little valentine and me at Applebees.

Lia eying her spoils before being allowed to touch them. Please notice the Ariel toothbrush front and center on the table.

Lia trying out one of her v-day gifts: her first official pair of flip flops! She fell in love with this type of shoe last summer after wearing Callie's and Sarah Mae's flip flops for hours on end! (thank heavens for cousins who are willing to share and humor a two-year old). So with Hawaii on the horizon, I thought that this gift was more than appropriate! Needless to say, she was pleased as punch to put 'em on!

Flip flops or not, I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!
