How do you celebrate Valentine’s Day?

Before children Valentine’s Day was spent in bed or on a romantic break in a European city. Now the day starts early and ends early with no hope of a romantic meal for two.

This year we decided on cards only, no gifts. We decorated with an origami heart garland.

The children gave daddy a homemade Valentine card which I blogged about earlier. I also made a card from an old book. I cut out a heart shape and sewed it onto a plain card with red thread.

Finally we iced some gingerbread hearts which we had bought from Morrisons and gave them to daddy when he got home from work.
