I know this post is late, but don't give me any grief, I've been sick. Ha! So Valentine's Day in the Arnesen household is a big deal. For as long as I can remember we treated it as a family holiday. We have a special dinner with fun decorations and everyone gets everybody else a card or something little just to say "hey I really do love ya even though sometimes you drive me crazy." I think this is why I've always loved Valentine's Day. We never put a huge emphasis on having a significant other and getting something extravagant, it was just a fun day for everyone to be together! This year is was at my sister's and we had our family favorite... ham balls! Sounds funny I know, but they're amazing. It's pretty much ham loaf shaped into balls with an amazing brown sugar sauce... oh man. It was fun to get Marcus things this year because he was so excited. The kid is going to grow up thinking there are like 5 Christmases. I got a really neat watch from my mom that you can buy different bands for and change them out depending on what you're wearing. Nifty! Of course, I'm going to try to make them, or have my friend Katie make them. Haha! Here are some pictures from the day!
Marcus got an M&M man "M's!!!" and I got him a "Car Car" book. He loves Car Cars!
Watching Grammy open his M man. Oh the anticipation!
The little man is getting so big! Sad.
Cheese!!!!!
Marcus got a kite from his other grandparents. Which, of course, he wanted to take out right away and fly in the snow!
And probably my favorite picture of the day. My brother, Jeremy, who you don't see on here often because usually my photos of him showcase a certain finger, bought Marcus the movie "Up" and they went to watch it together. It's so cute.
And not to downplay Luke and I's Valentine's Day, he got me a gift certificate for a massage... the best gift EVER! And then we gave each other colds. Which he got over in about 2 days and I still can't hear or taste anything... delightful.
Next year do something special for Valentine's Day with your family. It's really a fun tradition!
