My Special Valentines

I like to begin Valentine's Day with a special gift for each family member.
This year it was a card, special box of Crayola and mini box of chocolates for each girl.
And each girl, including Mommy, signed a special card for Daddy.
Ali wore a fancy pink dress to school and the rest of us, plus the cousins and Grandma, went to the zoo.







 These kids are some of the best company!  And they were all very well behaved at the zoo. 
Grandma and I were so pleased! 

We enjoyed a a few hours of quiet until Daddy got off work
 and then we had a Valentine's picnic in the backyard!
Valentine's burgers!  Valentine's cheesedip!  Valentine's daquiris for Mom and Dad!!





Now we're in and bathed and ready for bed.
Daddy will spend the evening playing soccer
and Mommy may  indulge in season 3 of The Tudors.

If your Valentine's Day included a vacation to somewhere exotic, warm or fun (say, Florida),
required the presence of an overnight babysitter,
included surprises,
or involved diamonds of any kind
I don't want to hear about it.

No diamonds or vacations here! We had a family dinner at BJ's, had some ice cream at Marble Slab, then went to the pet store to window shop. It was really romantic. ;-)
