Valentine.

Be my Valentine? I ask our kids this question, individually, every year.. and every year they say "yes". Long live these beautiful Valentine moments. As long as they accept it, I'll keep asking!

So, like always, I was lucky enough to have 4 Valentines this year. Man I love these guys all so much!!

Like ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? They're so friggin' CUTE! Bah! I love these photos! They were legit all so into it! The boys posed themselves completely and were so goofy and just had fun with it, how awesome are they!? And Penny.. she was so sweet to be my little model for my advertisement for photos to book Valentines Minis. She's always up for being in my ads!

Carter no longer hands our Valentines in school, being in grade 8 now, I guess it makes sense... darn it... but I still get to make them for Bentley and Penny and I love doing it and making them unique each year! This year, Penny handed out stamps and Bentley handed out Whoopee cousions.

Valentines Day this year was busy with sports and youth activities but I made a point of decorating a table and having a treat even though I knew we'd only be sitting around it eating quickly for 10 minutes together. It was worth it. It will always be worth it.

Now, a note to my forever Valentine.

Brian, you are everything to me. You are so kind and sweet and always thinking of our famliy. You make every single day have some sort of sunshine, even are the hardest days. I am so proud to call you mine. I am beyond grateful for you, for every part of you. I don't know where I would be without you. You are my first and my last puzzle piece. I promise I'll love you every day of this life and the next. You are mine forever and I am yours. Happy Valentine's Day, Sweetheart. ILY.
