For Valentines, the kids and I bought a box of "Pot of Gold" chocolates for Michael. Being his favorite chocolates, he would have loved them anyway, but we took the chocolates and made them extra special. There were 16 chocolates and the kids and I took and typed out 16 things that we loved, or memories of special times with Michael. We then cut them into little strips and folded them up and placed them each under a chocolate. We gave the chocolates to him at our special Valentine breakfast. Parker could not wait for Michael to open his chocolates. Michael couldn't understand why she was being so silly about having chocolates for breakfast. I finally had to tell him he needed to open the box. (Dads, sometimes the just don't get it.) He had just barely opened it up, and Parker is excitedly yelling in his ear, "look under a chocolate!" I don't know which was better, seeing the appreciation in Michael's eyes, or the excitement on the kids faces. Another reason why I love Valentines Day.
