We ate heart shaped pizza for lunch them opened gifts. Audrey and Aiden each got their own personalized M&M's. Being that they are their favorite candies, both kids loved just getting the M&M's. But they were over the moon when they saw their names on the candy.
"Audrey Elizabeth" wouldn'f fit so we went with "Audrey Lil'Bits," which she really thinks is her middle name. She started saying this because she couldn't say "Elizabeth" and it just stuck. In her mind, everyone's middle name is "Lil'Bits." She also got Giselle and Robert dolls from Enchanted.
Aiden got some Star Wars posters for his room. I don't know if he'll even sleep at night now. He may just stay up and stare at the guys on his posters.
Valentine's Day also holds another special significance to us. Aiden's last seizure was at his preschool Valentine party two years ago. Now he has been seizure free for 2 years and we couldn't be more thankful! That was such a traumatic time in our lives. I reflect on this each Valentine's Day and know we are blessed that he can "come out" of this.

Love the personalized M n M's! Now that takes some planning ahead of time. Way to go Mommy!
You're a sweet mom, I hope everyone gets feeling better soon. Being sick is a bummer.
I know what you mean about holidays being an opportunity to assess health when something significant has happened years past.
My mom got hit by a drunk driver 8 years ago on Valentine's Day and she still struggles with the pain from those injuries to this day. And it's all she can think about every Valentine's day. She pretty much hates this holiday now. :(
Maybe one day she'll be able to follow your example and use it as a day to be grateful for life and health! :)
Love ya friend! Happy Valentine's Day!
