Celebrating all the love in our lives

Valentine's Day has never been my favorite holiday.  I used to think it was not much more than a commercial endeavor for all the greeting card companies.  I have always liked the sentiment of Valentine's day, but felt that it got lost in all the hype.  Ever since LJ and I started dating (and got married) my opinion of Valentine's day has changed.  Now I find it to be a special day to celebrate the people you love and all the blessings you have.  LJ and I have never done anything crazy or over-the-top for Valentine's day, but we've always done something to let each other know how much we love and care for each other.  We usually go out to dinner and exchange cards.  We take the time to do the little things for each other.  It's hard to believe that last year we were anxiously awaiting the arrival of Henry!  
This year we went out to a lovely dinner that we appreciated SO much more than we ever have, simply  because it's not something that happens as much as it used to before Henry came into our lives!   
This Valentine's day my heart was literally bursting with love.  With love for LJ, love for Henry, love for our families, and for our home.  We have so many blessings to be thankful for.  Every night before I go to bed I am overwhelmed by all the love I feel on a daily basis for my two leading men.  Its a wonderful feeling to have so much LOVE to celebrate!  

My heart beats for you little man.  I love how he is hugging me.  =) 

Valentine's date night with the hubby! 

Yum! Kate's on State! 

I thought the pink tights were fitting for Valentine's Day.
Its fun to have an occasion to get dressed up for .

The beautiful roses from LJ are still in bloom almost a week later!
