We try to have Valentines be a fun day for the family. Both of the kids were excited to give out Valentines at school. Their classes were, thankfully, still doing the tradition. Many of the schools in the area opted to not do it for COVID reasons.
We sat down as a family to build a Lego Valentines Day box for Lucky Dragon. It turned out really awesome. He was excited and said that all of his classmates liked it so much "they gave me two candies!"
We had a big week just before this, so we wanted to keep it low key. But when I took the Muggles to Sam's Club with me to get some groceries, they both wanted to choose some flowers for Lady Hiva. They chose some beautiful roses!~
We then did some Valentines for their classes and for a family party with Madre and Kell and family. Koala Bear was great in writing all of her own Valentines. I thought she would give up, but she never did. This girl powers through!
Lady Hiva was so excited that her university offered an online cooking class. They sent her the food and then they all jumped on to cook together. She had so much fun and Koala Bear did too. She is growing into a great cook and baker like her mum. The dish they created was a Thai curry chicken. It was AMAZING! So much so, we went and bought all the ingredients to have it again. I was in class teaching so Lady Hiva saved me a plate of it. When I came down to eat she told me "it is so good that I licked my plate clean..." I laughed thinking she was just using hyperbole. But when I finished my food, I too, licked my plate (Something neither of us ever do!).
Every time that it is a chance to celebrate Lady Hiva, Lucky Dragon wants to get her flowers and chocolate. He knows that not just any chocolate, but See's chocolate. (She has trained him well with the chocolate. The flowers he chooses roses every time. Something that he likes, but they are not necessarily her favorites). Lady Hiva had gone to Costco while I was working and she came home and told me, "I bought gift cards for See's for you to give to me to save you time!" LOL
I decided to do something funny for Lady Hiva. I took some of our favorite foods and made notes! It was fun.
Then in the evening we went to eat at a Thai restaurant. Last year we did Indian food, so this year was Thai food!
We drove down to Beaver in the snow (I feel like we have had more snow in FEB and the end of JAN than we received the rest of winter combined!).
Lady Hiva's whole goal was to get Ginger's recipes. The two of them had so much fun talking about recipes while we smelled warm fresh bread.
