Happy Valentine’s Day, dear friend.

It’s one of my favorite holidays, you know.

Despite the multitude of curmudgeons who hate on this very special day, it holds a particularly unique place in my heart.

Because who doesn’t love telling others how much you love them?

Warm fuzzies all over.

Not to mention, this holiday presents many socially acceptable opportunities to freely distribute hugs. My friends in the corporate world delicately chastise my inclination to deliver too many of those hugs on a regular basis.

But when you’re the world’s best hugger, it’s a high calling.

Today is my day to shine.

Hugs upon hugs.

Well, I’m a bit of a cheese, and we’ve been quite busy celebrating very hard around here.

Fortunately, it doesn’t take much in decorations to impress a two-year-old, who giddily chirps HEARTS each time he glances at the fireplace.

If you think this heart pizza looks sorry, you should have seen my first try at it. Sad day.

Because my Drew prefers boxed strawberry flavored cupcakes over bona fide strawberry fruit cupcakes. He knows his honey’s limits. 🍓🍓🍓

Aren’t Andy’s Valentines the cutest? 😉

The bane of my existence is my Valentine’s favorite game.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Now, assuming it’s proper, and only in honor of today, allow me to deliver a virtual hug to you at this time.

((((((you))))))

I hope you take some time to tell a friend, a sibling, a child, a parent, a grandparent, a pet, a love muffin, or some other cutiepie just how much you love them.

❤️❤️❤️
