**I added some more at the end now that I've finally gotten a few pictures off my camera.
I've always liked Valentine's Day. It's always been a big holiday for me, but not for the mushy lovey dovey reasons it's probably supposed to. I've had the same Valentine for 29 years, with some others thrown in here and there, and of course a tall, Serbian Valentine for the past 10 years! :) My Daddy has and always will be my Valentine. He has gotten me something for every single Valentine's Day my entire life, and I don't see that changing ever! Because he did this for me, I have encouraged Jovan to do the same for his girls. It goes with that whole "Dad's should show their daughters what a man should treat them like" thing that I find SO important. So, Jovan has gotten Lainey something every year, and now has another girl to add into the mix! We tried to take some pictures of the girls in their Valentine's gear. We are finding it near impossible at this point to get "good" pictures of them, but we're sure having fun trying!

| Bless Lainey's heart. She usually loves her baby sister, but she was NOT feeling it this day! |
 |
| This is what this girl looks like 90% of the time. She is such a sweet, happy baby! |

| Lainey got this lovely dress from her Daddy to play dress up in. |

Each Valentine's Day Jovan is supposed to give the girls a charm. We had planned for him to do this for Lainey, but we had never really found ones we liked or Pandora ones that cost a minimum of $60, so long story short--we found some and he had to play catch up! Now both girls each have one for the number of Valentine's days they've had with their Daddy. Each one has a story behind it, and it was really sweet hearing him tell Lainey about each one and why he chose it for her. I hope both of these girls realize how special this is someday. I pray that they will have the same relationship with Jovan that I have with my daddy, and I am thankful that Jovan has the example of my dad to learn from. Such a blessing!
I love that idea! Your dad is so sweet! The girls looks adorable as always! It is terribly hard to get everyone looking the same direction!
