I love Valentine's Day! It's never been a day of extravagant gifts for us; we like the sweet side of it - having Bella pick out a card for Steve, getting a single rose - that kind of stuff. Last night, I came home from our church's Missions Study to find a vase with pink roses and a card from Steve. He also bought a rose and a butterfly card for Bella. She loved it!
Bella had a party at preschool that I really wanted her to go to, but she has another cold and cough (an unexpected joy of preschool), so we decided not to infect all of the other kids. We surprised Mel at her work and brought her a card and tulips! We also brought chocolate cupcakes to her front office staff. Then we took a field trip downtown and surprised Daddy with a card and a visit from his girls!
Tonight will be a "fancy" dinner at home...Bella will still be awake, but we're eating on our nice china and lighting candles. If toddlers have taught us anything, it's how to adapt.
Rex brought Bella and I valentines from Toy Story this morning, and they came with fake tattoos; Bella's is Rex, the dinosaur, and mine is Woody and Bullseye.
We didn't go to preschool, but we still got to wear Grandma's special Valentine's outfit!
Drawing a Valentine's picture for Mama!
Some of our "loot" from our day: a special card from Bella, my card from Mel, and Bella's card from Daddy.
