The Spoils of Valentine's Day

For Harper, Valentine's Day is like Christmas.

Thanks to her grandparents and us, she was spoiled with 

many (perhaps too many) Valentine treats.

By treats, I mean clothes, pajamas, stuffed animals,

 jewelry, treats, books, blankets, and toys.

That's how it is when you're the only grandkid on both sides.

Grandma and Grandpa Lomento gave her a Leappad over the weekend.

She loves it.

Harper isn't the only one that was spoiled.

Our dogs also got toys and treats.

I hope I don't need to clarify which cookie was for which dog.

 Hazel and I met on Valentine's Day 3 years ago.

(Thus her middle name.)

We celebrated our anniversary yesterday with MANY treats and a walk together.

She is looking a little bit homeless these days.

I've been grooming her at home for the past 9 months.

I'm done.

Dog grooming is something that should be left to the professionals.

She is going to the groomer next month.

I can't wait for her to look like herself (and not a hacked up version) again.

 Harper ate a cookie for breakfast yesterday.

I figured that if I was eating one, she could too.

We don't have double standards around here.

 Harper got a bean bag and some books from us for Valentine's Day.

 I love any excuse to pull out my collection of cupcake plates.

Harper loves any excuse to eat a mini-cupcake or two.

 Grandma Paulette gave Harp this dress.

Cute, isn't it?

Colt is great and all but I really can't deny it.

Harper is my cutest Valentine ever.
