Happy Valentine's Day!

"Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face."  - Victor Hugo

A week ago today we and our friends went sledding with the kids.  When I say we, I mean Jeff sleds and I take photos.  I am soooo not a winter person.  It did feel nice to be outside and to take photos. 

Jeff took Lily on the 5 and under hill.  

After going down with daddy a couple times, Lily decided to go down by herself for the first time.

Once you get to the bottom....it's a hard long climb up.  Especially for short little legs.

Then I trekked over to the big kids hill where everyone else was.  

Once getting to the bottom of the big kids hill they trek up was really hard and tiring.

Taking breaks along the way.

Ian tried his hand at snowboarding.  He was having a hard time getting his big feet  in the holes on the kid snowboard.  (he is now wearing a men's size 6 boot, which fit me...I wear an 8 in womens)

All was fun and happy until Jeff & Lily decided to go down the big kids hill.  They hit a bump at the bottom of the hill and took a tumble.  Jeff being afraid he would hurt Lily,ended up hurting himself.  She only got a face full of snow.  Jeff on the other hand bit the tip of his tongue, cut his nose and after a week he is still pretty sore. 

He said he should have stuck with the 5 & under hill.

This weeks question is:
Do you celebrate Valentine's Day?  If so, what are your plans?

Today is typically the day my husband and myself do something small to celebrate Valentine's Day.  You see, 14years ago today (Feb 11th) my husband asked me to marry him.  So ever since then we have beaten the crowds and celebrated Valentine's on the 11th instead of the 14th.  We usually just have a special lunch or dinner together.  Tonight my husband works until 7pm and my family seems to be fighting a cold, so it will be takeout dinner around the coffee table for the 2 of us tonight.  (Our kids go to bed early, Ian 8pm & Lily 7pm)  Sounds perfect to me.  :)
