Valentines

Since having kids, I have this need to want to make every holiday special and memorable (just like all the other moms out there). Well, we didn't do anything extra special today, but it was a great day. Last night I set the table with valentine's decorations because I wanted to surprise Skyler.
He always gets up before Steve and me and usually comes downstairs to check things out before coming into our room to wake us up. This morning, I heard him downstairs singing loudly, "I love Valentine's Day" over and over. His grandma had sent him a card which we told him he couldn't open until V-Day. I came downstairs to see the envelope ripped open and the card on the table. There was a chair pushed up to the cupboard and a sucker wrapper on the ground. He said, "I just had my valentine's day treat Momma." Ha, ha! I love how excited he is about everything and how fun it is to do things together. We ate pink pancakes for breakfast, and I was going to dye the scrambled eggs pink too, but I thought they would probably look too gross.
Steve got me some lovely tulips and 3 chocolate bars, and I made him some lemon bars. (Like either of us need more treats, but we didn't complain :) Our cute neighbors got Anya and Skyler little stuffed animals and cards.
