We had a quiet Valentine's day this year and it was good. I did get to attend Benson's class party on Friday and we finished his valentine's box just in time. With everything I've been juggling lately, he was worried I had forgotten about it, but I hadn't and Thursday after school we were able to make it just the way he wanted.
His party was cute as usual and I was glad I was able to be there. He's such a little sweetheart and really enjoys having me at all his school events.
On Friday we made homemade pizzas and watched a movie together as a family. That was our Valentine's date this year.
Then today my sister Laura and my Dad came over to visit. My mom is currently visiting her sisters in Arizona, so Dad and Laura came over without her. We spent the day with them and it was nice. The cousins also came over and we had a little Valentine's party.
This year I themed the party around "You're my Main Squeeze" and although the kids didn't really understand the phrase, I thought it was cute and I loved the citrus theme. I made a Raspberry Lemon cake and then served raspberry lemonade and lemon cookies.
Chris and I didn't go out this year but we did order some fajitas for dinner and picked up the order to take home and eat with everyone.
My Dad's health is declining right now and his hallucinations are really bad, so while I'm always happy to have him visit, he was definitely having a harder weekend and didn't sleep well. I ended up sleeping on the couch in the living room with him because I was worried about him. We are in the process of applying for a medicine pump for him that will hopefully help his medications be more effective, so we are trying to stay positive. I was grateful to get to spend Valentine's day with my Dad- that's something that hasn't happened in years. Happy Valentine's day!
