My Valentines

Eric asked me to marry him a week before Valentine's Day, in 1999. 

Our last Valentine's Day, 13 years later was spent at Mad Fish, with our three girls and baby boy, getting sushi and then hitting See's next door for a big Valentine's heart shaped box of chocolates.  And we spent our night doing what we've done best for the last thirteen years, eating chocolates and watching a movie when we should be sleeping.  I have loved every second being married to Eric.  He is the most wonderful friend, companion and valentine anyone could hope for.

We killed ourselved making 90 sandwich cookies for Olivia and Ella's class.  But it was all worth it to see the girls share them with their classes.

Olivia and her cousin Emerson went to a free darling Valentine Tea Party at Pottery Barn.  It was adorable.  How did we know about it?  Because Library Day with Grandma Nan has morphed into shopping day and we've been hitting Stanford Shopping Center almost every week.  We've found out about all the going-ons and have also managed to buy matching boots while the kids wait and watch us.

And the kids always want to play pretend games at Pottery Barn Kids as they stroll the mall with those wonderful Sees suckers.

I am grateful for family and friends, and especially my husband, as we watch another coming and going of the Day of Love.  Happy V-day everyone.
