Valentine's Day

My babies My loves.
Valentine's Day is for couples but what do you do when you don't have a partner or significant other? Well since my husband passed I have decided to make this day special for my children. I give them cards and buy them gifts to make them feel special and loved. I try to take the focus off me and really offer my heart to them. After all they are my one and only Valentine's. Sometimes I do feel sad and depressed because I am not getting those dozen yellow roses or the perfume I love from the man I love but I try to keep it moving so I don't have much time to wallow in my being alone. This weekend is jam packed with activities like a wine tasting and going to Boulder with my children and their friends. Miss Aaliyah wants to go see Justin Bieber but I don't know if I can sit through that. Lol! Anyway I plan to have a good time and look good doing it. Lol! Happy Valentine's Day to my family, friends, and loved one's. I pray that someone will give you their unconditional love on that day and every day. God Bless!

We are Family Christmas 2010

I was so thankful that my mother was able to be here to celebrate Christmas with us this year. Even though she can be demanding and rude at times I was glad she was here. I don't know maybe all Mom's boss their grown kids around and forget to say please and thank you. I pray I don't treat my kids that way. Lol! Anyway Christmas is a joyous time for us because it is also Kristina's and Aaliyah's birthday. Aaliyah's birthday is on the 24th and Kristina's is the 26th. One day I will have to share how that happened. The Denver chapter of Jack and Jill Beautillion is also in December as well as many other events and activities that we participate in. My husband loved Christmas and it is at this time of year that his presence is missed greatly. He always made sure that everyone got what they wanted for Christmas and that the girl's did not feel cheated because their birthday's were right around Christmas. We always celebrated their birthday's and they always got their gifts wrapped in birthday paper not Christmas paper. There was always a birthday cake and sometimes a birthday party. Christmas was always a fun time for us. I have tried to continue that tradition in his honor and I hope my children think we had a wonderful celebration this year. For me it is all about love and all about my family. I love them dearly and am so happy to be their Mom, daughter, sister, and friend. Merry Christmas and I hope you have a happy and blessed New Year. This is the year of double portion. I'm getting mine and I pray you get yours too!
