Valentine’s Day for us is a family holiday. We honor the momentous date that Andrew and I first met Steve ....and our lives were changed for the better!Thankfully, February 14th landed on a Saturday. We were able to sleep in and organize our day at a leisurely pace.
We tend to plan our free time democratically…making wish lists of how each person wants to spend their day and then figuring out a time-line to meet everyone’s needs. Valentine’s Day was no different.
We had sooooo many fun things we wanted to do, we decided to make it a two day celebration…which for Drew was perfectly logically considering it was our two-year anniversary. So, next year it will be a three day celebration….and we figured by the time he is seventeen we will celebrate the twelve days of Valentine’s, complete with a newly revised Valentine’s carol… (perhaps I should be concerned if he is 17 and spending Valentine’s Day with us…but a mother can hope)
Over the two day period we watched a movie, played Yatzee and drew pirate ships. We
had numerous snowballs fights, went sledding at the school and Steve and I took turns pulling Andrew trough the ice covered streets. Steve and Andrew began building the model airplane that Santa gave them for Christmas and we made caramel apples to commemorate the sweet treats Steve gave us at our first meeting. We toasted our anniversary with sparkling cider and shared a yummy meal together.
We had a fun and relaxing weekend but as “cheesy” as it sounds…even though our Valentine’s weekend is over, everyday for us is a celebration of our family. Steve, Andrew and I feel very lucky to have each other.
