Valentine's Day

As a rule, I hate Valentine's Day. It just never lives up to the hype and I get really sick of the commercialism. That said, I would never force my feelings on anyone else, and Christopher happens to (apparently, at least this year) LOVE Valentine's Day. So I had to write about it cuz he was so cute. Jaime came over during the week and gave C1 this Toy Story Valentine that was a box of chocolates. I don't remember taking this picture, but it was kind of funny, so I'm including it. Jaime also brought us all cute cups of candy on Sunday (the actual holiday). Thanks, Jaime!
This is some of what Christopher got from his preschool party. His teacher told me he LOVED giving out his valentines. She took them up to where the bags were one by one to put their valentine's in for the other kids, and she said he was just bouncing the whole time (he does that a lot lately, especially when he's excited, just jumps and jumps). He gave Cars valentines with a little bag of candy attached. We had fun making them the night before. He said he can't wait 'til Valentine's Day comes again, and when I told him it only comes once a year like Christmas, he was not happy!

He also loved picking out his Dad's Valentine stuff with me. He got Joel a card that played the song "I Want Candy" when opened, along with some candy. It had Christopher written all over it!
My mother-in-law hand-makes great cards for every occasion. This is her Valentine's Day card this year. Those are M&Ms on the front, a HUGE plus in Christopher's eyes!
