Well this holiday of love has arrived. While Jeremy and I have fluctuated on how we celebrate this over the years, we at least try to get each other a card. We have celebrated as a family for the last few years. Last year, we started a family tradition that I think we will try to keep up. The girls pick out our “fancy clothes” (read: the clothes Jeremy and I never really wear because we are fairly casual people). They also pick out their own fancy outfits. Then, I make a nice supper. Finally, there is some kind of dessert. Last year, they helped decorate a cake. This year we did a cake and cupcakes. While these are not my favorite choices for a dessert, it is perfect for them because they can help in preparing them and making them special. We also take a picture.
So, here is was this year:
Decorate Pretty Desserts to Eat. The girls also made some hearts that we attached to streamers as decoration this year.
Fancy outfits chosen (and picture taken):
Delicious Supper – this year it was Maple-Glazed Salmon with Sweet Potatoes and Broccoli (The kids love fish, so this was perfect!):
This year we added one more thing since we had a lot of cupcakes… We invited grandparents to join us for dessert!
It was a good day. Jeremy had already bought roses for me; a thing he does almost every year. He also brought me some delicious chocolate. The girls received dress up doll magnets and candy hearts. Jeremy got a card with some words of appreciation in it and some candy hearts. None of the gifts are meant to be extravagant, just a way to show people we love them.
Until next year…
