Happy Valentine's Day!
Here's what went down this holiday weekend:
*Assembling the Little Nies class Valentines.
Thanks to Oh Happy Day, we really nailed it.
* Dropping my little cupids off at school.
(Note the roses for teachers and other special (ahem) people.)
*Friday night, we made heart-shaped pizzas for dinner.
This is a Nielson Valentine tradition.
*Saturday, we decorated and delivered Valentine sugar cookies to family,
friends, loved ones, and neighbors.
This tradition is always a highlight for the Little Nies because they
get to doorbell ditch legally.
*Date with my Valentine.
This year, Mr. Nielson asked me how I would like to spend our Valentine's Day together, and
all I truly wanted to do was go for a long drive with him in the country.
We listened to great music in the car and talked for miles and miles.
We took our time and stopped wherever we found interesting spots,
grabbing takeout to eat in the car when we got hungry.
Everything was slow and easy, and we were all alone.
We reminisced about past Valentine's Days and drove
by a few of our former homes where we spent this romantic holiday
with our children.
I remember so vividly each one of them, what we did,
even what I wore, what we ate,
the gifts we exchanged and what the weather was like.
Such good times!
