I don’t know how I let yesterday go without posting about one of the happiest days of my life. 2/13/2011. The day that we got the mail from Meredith letting us know that we would be the proud mama and daddy of a baby boy. I well up with tears just thinking about it, and I’ve re-read the mail a million times. The funny thing is that we barely knew each other – and now she is family. We are so blessed.
And tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. A day that in my family, always, ALWAYS means heart shaped sugar cookies with your name written in pink frosting. Two years ago I made two ceremonial cookies that said “Meredith” and “Drizzle” (the Captain’s very first womb name). Later with a few leftover cookies I tried out baby names – I made a Brendan cookie before there was really a Brendan. Traditions are staunchly kept in the Casler family. That is what makes them special, and also what makes my mom an incredible woman who does not get enough sleep. I strive to create as magical a feeling for my family. But we went to Tahoe the weekend before Valentine’s Day, and aside from pulling a few all nighters, that was really my only opportunity to make cookies. So I made the radically different and difficult decision to let this tradition go this one year. I can’t give out sugary treats in Brendan’s class, so we made other Valentine’s instead. And I decided that my friends and family would probably forgive me if they didn’t get their cookie. But I have to admit that it feels a little strange. I have fantasies about one day creating a little Valentine’s party for all my smallest friends where we will decorate cookies together and have other love and heart filled festivities. But that didn’t have to happen this year. And maybe there is a different kind of magic in realizing that traditions are meant to add to our family life in positive ways, and that if they feel forced, maybe I’m getting it wrong. Maybe… but I’m not giving up that easily.
