Happy Alive Day!

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and we had lots of fun. We spent most of the day over at Grandma's house where we had a Valentine's Day breakfast (and yes, my mom went all out as evidenced by the pictures), spent time with cousins, and just had lots of fun.

Like I told you, my mom goes way, way overboard.

But, all the kids loved it.

Gotta love a sticky, sticky face. At lease my little monkey did. Mr. Tigger was not as appreciative.

I'm not overly fond of Valentine's Day, mostly because it's a holiday that celebrates everything girly. Pink, purple, and red dominate the day along with flowers and heart shapes and other girly things - think sugar and spice and everything nice. It just isn't my kind of holiday. But, I do like candy and romantic gifts from my husband - so there are a few perks. 

These are the roses and funny card from my sweet husband. I love white roses - I know it's girly, but I can't help myself.

Today (February 15th) is the 2 year anniversary of my scooter wreck - the day I almost died, and probably should have. My husband and I have christened it - Alive Day! It's a day where we think about how blessed we are and celebrate life in general. It's also a day where we think about what we've been doing lately and how we can live life to the fullest. Overall, it's a way better holiday than Valentine's Day!

(And no, that's not the car I wrecked into. It's just a car at the compound that they put my scooter against so that it could stay moderately upright.)

Gotta love being alive!
