Happy Valentine's Day

I often hear of people saying they hate Valentine's Day.  This is just crazy talk to me.  Valentine's day is there to shower those you love with love.  Is there anything better than LOVE?  It isn't about who loves you.  It is about who YOU love.  Having kids makes the holiday that much better.  It is so much fun to see their cute faces when they open the door to a suprise or when they ask for the pink balloon at the store, you know the heart shaped one that they ask for every time you go, but you always say "Not today."  Well, not on Valentine's Day.  Today I get to say YES you can have it because I love you. 

Our kids got showered with gifts from their grandparents, cousin Lucy, and of course Mom and Dad and from each other.  The older kids are starting to get the hang of it.  When they got home from school they went straight to their rooms to see what was waiting.  We heart attack their bedroom doors, make them sugar cookies, and get them a balloon.  Simple but they feel how much they are loved.  They even knew to wait by the front door so they could catch Mama and Papa in the act of placing their gift s on the porch.  They were giggling so hard while they watched them place the booty on the porch. 

Jeron got me chocolate covered strawberries (my fav) and a caramel apple.  Lucky girl that I am.  I made him a sugar cookie and got him his favorite treat.  Again we keep it simple but it is what we love.  The kids love their meals to be fun on holidays so we had all the heart shaped food you can eat.  German pancakes colored pink, heart shaped sandwiches, and heart shaped spaghetti pie. 

I just hope that my hubby, kids and all of our family know that I love them the mostest and the bestest.
