I do love holidays and traditions, but it is sometimes overwhelming to me when I realize I'm in charge of all that...I much prefer to be a part of something that someone else does for me :) I remember getting Valentine's Day cards and small gifts from my parents as a kid that just magically appeared on the kitchen table and I loved that. I did pick up a few small things for Matt and the kids - books and small treats - so I need to pull that together during naptime and before Matt gets home from work. What about you...do you have any special V-Day traditions?Now I'm off to contemplate how I wish I was the wife that cooked a special romantic Valentine's Day dinner for her husband...unfortunately I don't think I'm that wife either. (But I am good at ordering take-out!)
Like you, I had visions of that for Abbie this year, but cringed when I realized that for it to come to fruition, I would have to make the effort. And, because my mom once did for me, I made the heart-shaped pancakes and muffins, used placemats with hearts on them and bought a little red container to fill with randomness. Abbie couldn't have cared less, but I felt like at least for that day, I was keepin' up with the Jones'.
