Love is Fire Trucks and Blowing out Candles

Love on Valentine's Day came in many different forms this year.

For Jason, love was:
  • receiving M&Ms and his first fire truck from Grandma Linda
  • receiving his own play-dough from Grandma Diane
  • playing at the park with cousin Shelby
  • practicing photography skills with mom's help
  • hanging out with mom all day
  • seeing dad in the middle of the day for a yummy lunch at Arby's
  • helping mom with laundry
  • visiting his friend Elena
  • blowing out a candle over and over (I attempted to set a romantic atmosphere for dinner with the candle, but Jason quickly put an end to that. As soon as he saw the candle, he ran over and said "cake!" and "happy". Thanks, Kyle, for helping him practice his blowing skills)
  • having mom and dad home all evening (instead of a babysitter)
For me and Kyle, love was:
  • working (thanks for supporting us, Kyle)
  • staying home all day with Jason
  • meeting up for lunch
  • eating lots of yummy treats
  • exchanging presents (ski mask, muffin tin, cheese grater)
  • cooking a delicious steak dinner together
  • hanging out as a family
  • relaxing with just the two of us after Jason went to bed
I love my family! Valentine's Day is so much better when you don't have to wonder if you'll have a special Valentine, but rather how you'll show your love to your special Valentine(s).

That is so true what you said at the end! And it sounds like fun! Gosh Jason is so stinking cute, I just wish he loved his Aunt Heather more! :)

You just need to offer to watch him more often and he'll learn to love you. But I guess that's harder than it sounds when you live so far away :(.
