Love Day

Did you know that the number one candy-buying holiday in the U.S. is not Valentine's day, nor is it Hallowe'en (which was my guess). It's Easter. One busy bunny, yaknowwhatimsayin?
Olivia was thrilled with her Valentine's Day gift from her daddy. A really huge flower with a big smiley face and long, bendable stem. She wouldn't let it go while eating. She didn't even notice her "Be Mine" plush heart magnets from mommy, so it will be fun to watch her discover them later this evening.
I totally give in to the commercialism that has embraced this "holiday" so completely. Olivia got cards from both mommy and daddy (as well as from gramma and great aunt Shirley). Alan got a card from Oliv and Al and I exchanged cards. I even bought valentines to send to Oliv's friends from her, but I didn't get those done (ah well, you're looking at the person who still hasn't finished the baby book, or done any pages of the scrapbook), so maybe next year.
At least Valentine's don't go out of style. Except that one year I bought Digimon ones, and they are from the first season, so they may be a bit obsolete.
Plus, this day brought heart shaped cookies from the company and someone just gave me a little Smartie heart. Colour me valentine red happy!
Take care,
V
