Valentine's Day

Dear Abigail,

Monday was Valentine's Day and you had your first Valentine's party at school! You got to eat lots of yummy snacks and pass out valentine's to all your friends and Mommy and Daddy got to join you!!!

Your 'mailbox' you made for all your valentine's:

Here's you and Adelyn, your BFF:
And you and Brody:

After school, we headed home. Now, Mommy and Daddy don't get too into the hype of Valentine's Day, but we do typically like to take the day to do something we normally wouldn't do, or should I say, normally wouldn't eat. For example, a couple years ago, we decided to make Indian food, but 3 hours and $80 later, we realized that we could have just gone to the restaurant for 1/2 the cost and none of the labor. So the next year, we decided to go to the restaurant. But you may recall that you were in a 'stage' and well, were not too good at the restaurant causing Mommy and Daddy to eat their valentine's day dinner separately. SO, this year, I suggested we get Indian take out. As we seem to only eat Indian once a year, I was CRAVING it, so Indian take out was the plan. But, your Daddy wasn't feeling it. Well, he wasn't feeling like driving to get the Indian, or rather, sitting in afternoon traffic just for Indian. So, we did the 2nd thing that we never do - ordered a pizza, but more importantly, ate it straight from the box!!! Mommy insists at dinner that the food be brought to the table, each item in separate dishes, places are set, napkins are folded and then we eat. So, for Valentine's Day, we went crazy and just straight up sat the pizza box on the table and ate!! And it was delicious - and an easy clean up!!

Oh, and you got a little something special for being Mommy and Daddy's valentine's!!!

I love you baby girl, Valentine's Day or not!!!!!
