every valentine's day i've always wanted to do something special for Rob but so many ideas related to valentine's day just come off a being soooo cheesy that i usually just make him a nice dinner and buy a card and some sweets. but this year, i dont know if i've changed my mind about what i consider embarrassing and cheesy, or if, as i get older, i just dont care if it is, i'll do it anyway. whatever the reason, i've put together a little photo tribute to my husband for valentine's day. he's been my rock, my shoulder to cry on, my very best friend, a great father to our kids, and always the love of my life. he truly does complete me. we've had our ups and downs, but the big picture has always been better than i ever dreamed possible.
this year was a particularly difficult year to plan mimi's birthday. after rob's dad became terminally ill, i didnt think it was good time for a party for mimi and her friends, so we decided it was best to skip a party this year and just have a quiet family dinner out. then after dad passed and we slowly started to get back into our routines again, we all began to feel bad about not having a party for mimi, so we decided to have a party after all...although, a much belated party. mimi said she really wanted to have a party here at the house. she really really really wanted it here, so i told her she could, if she kept it small. since she was turning seven, i allowed her to invite seven friends. then i tasked her with thinking up a theme, and she finally settled on a favorite book series of hers called Rainbow Magic . how perfect...each of the book sets in the series showcases 7 fairies, whether they be the rainbow fairies, the gem fairies, the party fai...
That's truly great... cheezy yes, but more great.
