We love all colors. Really we do. We're equal opportunity color connoisseurs... But, when it comes to February, Mr. Red definitely steals our hearts. Don't tell our husbands. Though, something tells us they aren't really overly threatened by Roy G Biv... Truth be told we LOVE it when Valentine's Day falls on a weekend celebrating Valentine's Day in class.

100th Day Hag!
Look what blogging does to you! Tammy's dear family had her convinced it was GREAT! Well, maybe she convinced herself and they just nodded in agreement like they're supposed to, but still they said YES! Christy loved it too.
