Last Thursday's Valentine's Day celebration went down in history as my favorite to date!
Kevin and I are funny about this little Hallmark holiday. Every year we play it cool and make the same casual comments:
"Yeah, Valentine's Day is stupid..."
"Let's save some money and not celebrate this year"
"It's such a cheesy holiday..."
Then, as the date approaches, the conversation evolves:
"Well, I just got you a little something..."
"Flowers would be nice. Just flowers."
"Did you see that HUGE box of chocolates at the store?!"
And so, by the time February 14th rolls around, we've invariable spent a few casual bucks on a not-so-casual gesture.
This year we farmed Abigail off for the evening and enjoyed a night on the town: shopping, dinner at Benihana, then to see a movie (Argo).
I figured the date night was our unspoken "not-so-casual" gesture, but Kevin one-upped me with flowers, a card, and a heart shaped balloon when he walked through the door after work (playing Etta James on speaker phone, none the less).
Well played Mr. Lauckner, well played...
I hope everyone enjoyed a fun, romantic, and casually uncelebrated holiday as well :)
Valentine's day last year, the year before, and proof that we're posers (this was moments before I received the flowers).
