Valentines Day. While some believe this to be a day formerly claimed by a religious figure now exploited by commercialism and worthy of little notice, if any (Jason), I believe it is a day to celebrate the ones you love. The occasional reminder (in holiday form if necessary) not to take special people for granted is always a good thing.
The Chamness family had a fabulous Valentine's Day!
1. My mom was in town, so we had secured the best (and least expensive) babysitter possible for the night out.
2. We visited with my aunt and uncle in Grand Prairie and enjoyed brunch at the Cracker Barrel.
3. Hayden raked in the Valentine goodies from Grammy. New locking beads, a cute purple polka dot dress and a red heart onesie!
4. We all received fun cards. Hayden loves to carry cards around with her. She carried the Thomas the Train Valentine card from Nathan around until it was an unrecognizeable wad of cardboard.
5. My diet allows for milk protein again, so Bryan and I went to Zizikis and had wonderful lamb souvlaki and multiple dishes that included feta cheese. ( oh feta, how I have missed you!)
6. Bryan and I had conversation by candle light, at a table, that lasted more than 5 minutes and wasn't interrupted by dropped cups, thrown Cheerios or loud squeeling. Heavenly.
Our family is truly blessed to love and be loved by so many.
Thank you Lord for showing us your love through others.
