Growing up, Valentine’s Day was always a big deal in our family.  Sometimes we’d have pink pancakes or heart-shaped sandwiches (sometimes with pink tuna fish!), as well as other special treats and little gifts.  I want Vera and future children to really enjoy Valentine’s Day as much as I did growing up!  Vera won’t remember this year, but we had a fun, special day anyway.  Tad, Vera, and I all walked down to the neighborhood bakery (it’s so dangerous having a bakery within walking distance) and he and I got a treat.  It was a gorgeous day and we loved the sunshine!

I thoroughly enjoyed my cupcake and pink milk! (The fab red and white straw is from Garnish.)

Tad made a delicious shrimp scampi for us for dinner. 

Vera was our little kitchen helper!

We had a great day together as a family.  How did you celebrate Valentine’s Day?
