I used to think that Valentine's Day was for couples, but I've come to see, for me at least, that Valentine's Day is for family. I don't want to make reservations at an over-priced restaurant and leave my little ones in a baby sitter's care when we can stay together, have lots of fun, and I can smother them all in hugs and kisses and Valentine's Day schmaltz.
It's a wonderful excuse to have pink drinks and flowers and candles. The boys think its neat to have these things on Valentine's Day, instead of unbearably girly (which it would be any other day of the year).
And who doesn't want a pink frosted heart-shaped sugar cookie? (Let's not talk about how I ate almost all the chocolate covered strawberries.)
It's another day to show them I love them, just with pink extras thrown in for fun. (Aren't they the cutest little stair-steps ever?)

I totally agree. The best part of Valentine's Day is a candlelight dinner at home with the kid-o's!
