Ours is a family that celebrates Valentine’s Day every year. Each one of us tries to do our bit and make the day special for the people we love so much. Here’s what we did this year.
Sarah and I spent the evening before the day cutting colored sheets of paper into smaller heart-shaped ‘love notes’, as we like to call them – she was tracing a heart with a pencil and I was entrusted with the task of carefully cutting the sheet along the traced lines. Once that was done, each one of us (hubby included) was given three ‘hearts’ each and we had to write our message on it for the remaining three members in the family. It was my better half who enjoyed this part the most; he was helping Timothy write his messages too (mine was “I love mom because she makes yummm choco cake!”).
And then, of course, we had a special dinner planned out. Chocolate enjoys the privilege of being ‘no holds barred’ on February 14, so the kids made the most of this opportunity. My primary contribution was in the desserts part of the meal – chocolate cupcakes – with heart shaped cream frosting on the top to give that Valentine feel to it!
Till next year… Here’s wishing love stays in the air! :-)
