Happy Valentine's Day!

We don't usually do too much for Valentine's Day, we have never really celebrated it and we usually only get the kids a small candy item. Since the last few months have been so difficult on the kids I thought this year needed to be different and they deserved a little more.

After we spent most of the day just hanging out together and playing Wii I thought it was time I gave them their Valentines. They were all so surprised when I walked out with red & white gift bags for each of them. They all thought the cookie cake was it...Riley got a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse game set with checkers which excited him more than I expected! Connor received a new Playground game for his DS. Hayley the Babysitter Mania game for her DS; which she opened right away...after about 15 minutes of playing she said, "I don't like this baby, everytime I pick up his mess he makes another mess!" We could only laugh and say "now you know how we feel!" Zack received The Simpsons Game for Wii which of course had to be played right away also.I know gifts cannot fix everything but it sure does feel good to see their glowing smiles for awhile.

Happy Valentine's Day!
