For everyone who doesn't know, Valentine's day is ALSO D's birthday which makes for an interesting holiday.
Despite the fact that this day is a commercial ploy to sell obscene amounts of chocolate and flowers I like it. Why not join the nation in celebrating love? Plus I'm a girl, so my job in order to "join in" is graciously accepting said flowers and chocolate.
I also am a firm believer in getting completely pampered on your birthday. One day a year that you don't have to lift a finger--you can do anything you want all day with no responsibilities.
As you can see we are at a bit of a stand still, that leaves D and I both squirming to make February 14th special for the both of us.
This year was a success!
Saturday was Daniel's day, it was full of sleep (a rare commodity around these parts since a little man, about 2 ft tall, light brown hair, who yells a lot, moved in with us) volley ball and lots of tennis! We ended the evening with some sushi and a movie.
Then of course Valentines day was a lot of fun. Complete with Fadi's take-out, chocolate creme brulee, and a chick flick. Daniel knows me too well.
Finn and I made some Valentines as well, he is a master with that finger paint!

When all of the festivities were "over" I surprised Daniel with a Tennis themed birthday party! We all shouted surprise when he walked in the door, then ate homemade pizza and played games. My husband is a quarter of a century.....
These past 2 1/2 years have been such a blast! I love you babe, thanks for being born!
