Happy Valentine's Day - Northern Virginia Family Photographer

2/11/2018

When I got married over 23 years ago and had children, my husband and I realized we had to do fun family things for Valentine’s Day. As a military family, we didn’t have family living nearby to drop our children off with, so we had to be creative. While living in Northern Virginia things haven’t changed. At this point we have created a system of different ways to celebrate this love holiday together.

Since Valentine’s Day is on Wednesday this year; instead of a date night, my husband and I have a date lunch. Even if we can’t go and have lunch at a fancy restaurant, just sitting together eating a sandwich and chips is romantic. Because we don’t have to yell at any of our children; it’s just us two. However, as a family photographer, I know you’re probably looking for ways to celebrate your family on this holiday and document the memories you’ll create.

Let’s discuss a few awesome ideas you can do with your family and make memories that will last generations.

Game Night
In today’s go-go world and heavily filled technology arena, having a game night is a great way to build bonds and talk with one another away from smart phones and tables. One of my family’s favorite games is UNO. Sometimes we’re able to get in a quick game before the start of school.

If we’re not playing UNO, we like to play Connect Four. When we originally purchased this game, my husband and I would always win against our kids.

Now my eldest is the king of this game. It has taught him how to be strategic and think several moves ahead. It’s to the point where no one wants to play because we know we’re going to lose…I know it’s sad.

Another one of our favorite family games is Trouble.

We love all these games, because they’re appropriate for children and adults of all ages.
