How Times Change

Twenty years ago, I would have spent Valentine's Day with my girlfriends, talking about boys; ten years ago, Lee and I probably would have gone out for an overpriced dinner.  This year?  We spent the evening with our two little Valentines and a great group of friends - the Dudley, Belin, Weiss and LoGiudice families.  Jen and Sal hosted and the grown-ups talked and indulged in some adult beverages while the kids colored, played watched television and played hair salon - and we all munched on great food all night long.  It is amazing that eight girls, ranging from preschool to fifth grade, can play so well together; and the boys, Tavio and Devin, are lucky enough to be exactly the same age, so they are buddies for life.  We had a great time and it was such an awesome way to spend Valentine's Day!

Valentine treats for the kids (apparently, some moms - not me, of course - think of everything).
