My mom is very good about making everyone in my family feel special during the holidays and on birthdays. Today, she sent a singing Valentine to each of my siblings' and myself. A group from Cair Paravel Latin School (where my sister, Katie, goes) spends the day making trips to sweetly sing to unsuspecting recipients for Valentine's Day as part of a fundraiser. They got here before I even had a chance to put my makeup on! Did I mention my mom also doesn't mind embarrassing us? :) Love you, Mom.

The singers did a beautiful job and even were kind enough to serenade Amy Schmidt when I pulled her into the charade. Couldn't take the embarrassment alone, right? :) (Video from her song, "Earth Angel" is also posted on the web video player.)

What's the best Valentine's Day gift you've either given or received?
