The baby I co-parent loves Dora...this year for her birthday, I went out and bought everything Dora for her, from the paper plates and cups..to Dora toys and a Dora raincoat.
When she walked into the room, all she could say was "Mama, thanks everything is Dora!"
Then she gave me hundreds of "I love you kisses"...I think niether one of us will ever forget that birthday theme, lol
I am staying home, but all that wish to stop by, or come over for dinner are welcome.
I make a giant dinner to be had around 5:00 PM on Christmas Eve, then at 7:00 PM the family opens half of their gifts.
At midnight we have another dinner, to celebrate the beginning of Christmas day.
I make sure to put together as many plates as I can for all the people that I know will not be having a Christmas meal and send it out to them along with a small gift, if possible.
New years eve we celebrate by going out to First night, seeing all the events, and sometimes we will have New years Eve count down by the Boston Harbor ( A boston tradition )where thousands gather to see the fireworks to the count down in freezing weather!
Love should never feel like an "obligation" to say in response, or because you are guessing someone loves you.
Love grows naturaly, it should never be rushed, if it is, is it really love then?
Sometimes a person maybe shy or even afraid to say I love you, if you think this may be the case, express your own feelings first.
Making that clear that your emotions are real and there are no expectations for the feeling to be returned...love is a gift that the other will give you when the time is right.
If the feelings are mutual, you are more than likely to know.
