One of my favorite things about being a mom and having my own family is creating traditions, which sometimes means borrowing from traditions that either Josh or I had with our own families as children. One of my favorite holidays growing up was Valentine's Day. My mom always had a card, a yummy breakfast treat (sometimes petit fours - not sure if I spelled that right - or doughnuts with red sprinkles, and then a small gift). I vividly remember getting zinc pink lipstick one year in high school. I thought that made her super cool. We have done the same for our children. We always get them something little just to show them that they are all OUR Valentines. They are really the loves of our life. Today I had so much fun picking a new book out for each of them and cd's for Conor and Riley, and a dvd for Quinn... I know it's nothing big, but I also know they'll love feeling that they are loved tomorrow morning.
Happy Valentine's Day!
