My Valentines...Two Of Them Anyway

First, we have the big elephant:
And then we have the little elephant:
In spite of having the flu, I had a really nice Valentine's Day.  The kids gave me the big elephant as a joint gift, and then they gave me individual gifts.  Ryan gave me a beautiful jewelry box.  Kasi gave me a Carvel cake (the kid knows the way to my heart).  Brandi gave me a little elephant box of chocolate covered animal cookies, which were delicious. She also is in the process of making me a wood sign, but she didn't get it finished in time, because she also had the flu. Bob gave me the little blue elephant, which is adorable.  February is a great month for me...first it's my birthday and then it's Valentine's Day.  I am pampered and showered with love on both days, and I eat it up.  That's right...I do.

We have the same taste - I bought that same little blue elephant for Sophie! Thanks for posting a picture, it'll be nice to have something to reference when I wonder what it looked like before she chews the trunk and pulls the ears off!
