I can't believe February is almost over! I wanted to have an entry on Valentine's Day because it is one of my favorite holidays. I have always been drawn to the shape of a heart. I love how creative one can be on Valentine's Day towards those that they would like to express love to. The discussion at home is that it is a holiday mainly targeted to/from women. I suppose I cannot argue with that! It does seem more of a "chick" thing. I remember LOVING to prepare my Valentine Day cards when I was in school. When the boys were little it was somewhat of a chore with them. So I suppose you can imagine who completed the task of preparing Valentine's Day cards for them to take to school?
This year we were surprised when we came home from church and saw that we had just received a "Heart Attack." Scott, Tasha, Denton and Makenzie came over when we were out and spread cut out hearts and messages of love all over the place. I wondered what was up when there was a heart hanging on the doorknob when we came up to the porch. What a fun surprise awaited us inside!
Valentine's Day is a bright spot in the middle of a dreary winter. I can't think of a better holiday than to celebrate LOVE and tell those around you, in creative ways, how you feel about them. I love ALL 16 members of my immediate family very much and know I need to express that to them individually on any 'ol day!
