Valentine's Day is something that Dave and I don't really celebrate. We mark the start of us as a couple on February 20th, so that day has real meaning for us. We typically express heartfelt love to each other then and leave Valentine's to everyone else. However, having kids changing things, everything really. You are no longer in charge of which holidays you will choose to celebrate. The hype for Valentine's wasn't huge, but it was in the air. Cards to make, candy to eat, pink/red to wear.... you get the idea. Since I was home, I thought that his was my chance to do something special for the kids. I decided that I would try out a new cake recipe and made a white chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream frosting in the shape of a heart. Dave found some awesome Valentine's cards based on Downton Abbey that he printed out and hid around the house for me - it was a total and complete surprise, score one for Dave. He also bought me some beautiful bouquets of roses the day before. We had an awesome "hand-me-down" onesie for Freya that was perfect. All in all, it was a great day. Love was all around.
