Since Olivia started high school, family dinners are not a given. Valentines day was in the "no" column - but we sync'd our calendars and discovered Sunday night was good!
By then, all those ridiculously overpriced roses are nearly free
Nearly dead too, (but I suspect they were this way on Valentines Day also.)
Our tradition is to make cards for each other. I must say over the years we have gotten pretty good and very creative...
Liv took the prize for the origami lily card
As anti-horder as my behavior can be, I have always saved our handmade cards. We have quite a stack now, and it's so fun to look back each year.
Yes, there are presents.
This year we tried chocolate waffles for dessert! I'd love to show you a lovely picture of them stacked on a pretty plate with a scoop of ice-cream on top, but they didn't last long enough to snap a picture!
I'd give it a thumbs up - mix a devils food cake mix according to the package directions and pop in your waffle iron. It wasn't very sweet (a plus in my book) but the ice-cream helped.
Hope you all got to share the day (or the next day...or the next) with the ones you love.
