Here's a look at our Valentine's Day this year.
The kids took Valentines to school. We went the non-pinterest-inspired route this year, to save pregnant me from too much stress. They made these all by themselves.
They are construction paper, markers, and store-bought valentine cards and candy. These are exactly the type of valentine's cards that my siblings and I made as kids--orchestrated by my creative mom.
Cinnamon rolls (from a can!) with heart sprinkles.
I made the tuxedo strawberries for Donnie. We like to keep things simple for Valentine's Day. Do you have an unspoken (or spoken) set of gifting rules for different occasions? I think valentines should be consumable. Made of paper and string, edible, or of the floral variety. Something that says, hey I love you! without breaking the bank. I would be much happier with a post-it that said something sweet than a diamond bracelet for Valentine's Day.
Donnie knows this all too well. (Let's just say, the year he bought me an SUV instead of a card was a little tense. I know, you probably think I'm insane.)
He surprised me with chocolates and a hilarious card that sings a love song in Spanish. (I don't know Spanish!)
We didn't have a sitter lined up, so we put the kids to bed early and made ourselves dinner.
He grilled the steak, I broiled the lobster tails, and we met back at the kitchen for a quiet meal alone. Exactly like we did on our first married Valentine's Day 10 years ago.
Happy Valentine's Day, y'all!
