Chad and I have never really been big celebrators of Valentines Day in a couple sense. Sure, we give a card here and there or a little note, and there's always love-heart chocolate or ferrero Rochers thrown in there somewhere. But we've never felt the need or pressure to buy into all the commercialisation that surrounds this one glorious day of love. I know it's cliche - but shouldn't we show love everyday? And you are most welcome to bring me flowers (or a candle :) any day of the year, not just on Valentines day :)
But as our family has grown, so too has the idea of celebrating the love we share together. Not just as a couple, but as a family. And so 5 years ago our V day celebration was born (has it really been that long?)!
A 'fancy' dinner (oh I love that a wine glass, not even used for wine, and chocolates on the table make our dinner appear fancy to our littles :) followed by our favourite part of writing kind things about each other on love-hearts.
This year we added love heart pancakes for breakfast! They were an interesting yummy concoction of flour, milk, banana and frozen berries!
My little love!
Hang on. We can do better than that........
That's more like it :)
And then we stick our hearts all over the hub of our home. A gentle reminder of the things we love about each other that we leave up for the month of February.
How I love these Valentines of mine!!!
