I know this post is a couple of days late, but better late than never, right?
The last few days have been interesting, to say the least, and we're not done yet.
As most of you know, Anthony and I were married on February 18th, 2006. This Saturday will mark our 6 year annniversary!
This has made Valentines day kind of obsolete between the 2 of us. That might sound strange, but we would rather focus our attention (and money...) On the anniversary. However, having children, we want to make Valentines Day all about loving them. This said, we do want to get them something special or do something special with them on Valentines Day. We don't want to be one of those "get the kids some candy and a generic stuffed animal" couple. That just doesn't say "I love you" to me. (Though I know, kids aren't really picky... It's just me.)
This year, we got Alida some candy (cause she is still only 4...), a pink shirt (her favorite color), a "Go Fish" game for kids and the game "Candy Land". This is the kind of unexpected "special" stuff I mean. Not your typical valentine.
I also did an activity with Alida and Michelle's little Sweetheart while her kids were here that day. We made a chocolate cake, frosted it, put pink sprinkles all over it and then used heart cookie cutters to make chocolate heart cake stacks. The girls each got to make their own and helped me make them for their parents. They seemed to enjoy it!
I know with only one child right now, it may be a little easier to think of things to do. We'll have to see what happens next year when we have 2!!!
Also, just an update, we have just 1 1/2 months until our due date! (6 more weeks!!!) We are so excited! I think I am still in denial though. We haven't gotten anything ready yet. We are seriously slacking off. I hope she comes early...
