Scott and I aren't huge into the whole Valentines Day thing. We've gone to dinner a few years, but definitely not every year, and we hardly ever get each other a gift. I don't think we're doing anything this year.
I do feel that I need to admit, we've had two mid-november babies, so you do the math.....we're getting in some celebrating!!
Happy Valentines Day love of mine!

Valentines hasn't always been my favorite either. It just feels fake and cheesy. The past couple years we started making it a "family" holiday instead of a "couple" holiday and I like it so much more! Anna helps me make Valentines to send and we make treats to take around to grandparents. She gets so excited to "make people happy with her love." We also have a fun little dinner with the kids with sparkling cider and fancy dishes and then for dessert we have chocolate fondue, the highlight of the day!
I think you should find your own way to celebrate and not feel pressured to do what "hallmark" says you should. And by the way, not every kiss begins with Kay.
Happy Valentine's Day!
I loved this post. I've always hated V-Day, then we got married and I felt like I was supposed to like it. Nope..still don't really. I guess it's one of those excuses to buy each other something they've been eying. I say you stay in and make out after the kids go to bed. Maybe get a little treat to share.
Love the picture Chelle super cute! We dont celebrate it either, Jesse says it is a commercial holiday. I do always gets the kids a little heart shape box of chcoolates, they like it!
Yeah, I love you every day. Who says I have to buy you something today to show that I really love you? Valentines was just created to make the romantically impaired (myself) feel like a terrible person. Well I refuse to give in! I refuse to feel like a douche! I do love to laugh at all the terrible commercials though! And since you brought it up, maybe we should just change the name to "Happy Insemination Day!" Eww, sorry, that was gross.
Haha you guys crack me up. Way to go on the celebrating in your own way. :)
We dont do a 'couple' holiday either. We make it a fun family one. We do the traditions my parents did (I dont know how it started but we'd make valentines for each other and then sneak outside and leave them on the front porch, ring the door bell and run away. At our own house. And we'd all take turns. Seriously weird I know. But anyway now my kids have fun doing it too.) Then we always do a fun dinner with like $1 store heart plates, heart table cloth, anything else we can find.
Plus our anniversary is just a month before so I feel like we still had a recent/big special day.
