Michael and I have always celebrated Valentine's Day on any other night. Therefore, Valentine's Day has become a family night. The last few years we have rented a family movie, and we have ordered pizza. This year, I wanted to do something different. I decided to make the ultimate parent sacrifice: Chuck E Cheese. The kids have been asking to go for years. Yes, the only time Miley has ever been is at an MCE family night four years ago. I also thought it was brilliant to go on Valentine's Day because everyone would be out on dates. I was wrong, but the kids had such a good time.
This was his favorite.
Michael also got Miley and I flowers and a cookie cake. It is such a sweet tradition. Dex got jelly beans.
This morning I realized that I fell asleep last night early, and I never really thanked Michael for such a sweet family night. I felt a little guilty for falling asleep, and I think I thanked him for the flowers, but I think it was a little rushed with the rest of the evening. Michael was still asleep so I started walking around leaving sticky notes about the things that I am appreciative for that he does. Sticky notes just seemed more sincere this morning. I know I do not give him enough credit. I know I expect a lot for him, and I do appreciate him so much.
