I am someone who loves almost every single holiday. As I was growing up, my family never let a Valentine’s day go by unnoticed – now it is one of my favorite days of the year. Every year I remember my mom making a “special” breakfast even if Valentine’s Day fell on a school day. Anthony and I would come out to the kitchen to little goodie bags on our breakfast spot, and the smell of cinnamon rolls (or something of this nature) in the oven.
Even though I don’t have a family of my own yet, I hope to carry on this tradition someday. It’s nice to have something to look forward to and get excited about in the middle of dreary Winter.
Every year I try to do something special for Conor, and it usually involves baking. Two years ago I made him a platter of heart shaped brownies and got him a Dunkin’s gift card with our picture on it.
Last year I made him a big heart shaped cookie and wrote a message in frosting on it. This year I was planning on following along with this trend – but he really out did me. We are going into the city tonight for a romantic Valentines dinner and fashion show. I’m so excited to spend the day with him and do something different!
