Love day, as the kids and I call it, is my absolute favorite day of the year! I'm such a hopeless romantic, and having a day surrounded with tons of love and affection just warms my soul to the core. 

As a tradition each year, I create a mini Valentine's Day session of my children. With so many things going on and the month of January slipping like quicksand through my fingers, I was uncertain if I would get afforded the opportunity this go around. Interestingly enough, when we woke this morning schools were closed anticipating winter weather. I jumped at the chance to capture a few images. Here's the highlights from a sweet moment in the kitchen, as my 12 year old daughter made treats for her younger brothers.
