We knew today would be difficult without Cory. We love him so much and want to celebrate this day of love with him. He had already sent us a special gift. He had a friend leave packages on our doorstep. The packages included a Wii and some games to go with it. What a wonderful Valentines gift for our family.
Since Cory wasn't here, to cheer us all up I wanted to do whatever I could think of to make it a fun day. We started the day with a special breakfast....
Kids love anything that sparkles and shimmers or hangs from the ceiling.
Each of the kids got a new movie to share..
And after breakfast, in the spirit of Valentines, they actually loved on each other and watched a movie together.
Later that morning, I took the kids outside to find a special delivery in the mailbox:
They were both so proud of their cards.
It just melted my heart to see Eli trying to read his card to himself.
We also had some special visitors at our house. While a friend of mine was out running errands, her girls came over to play. They all had the best time, and they all got to have a Valentine's lunch together.
For dinner, we had a wonderful family meal at chick fil a, and then we had a really fun surprise. This surprise is deserving of a post all by itself, so I'll save it for next time!
Happy Valentine's Day!
