It may look like we've got our holiday wrong but look at the balloon. I have fond memories of my Mom giving us little Valentines. It was always something small but thoughtful. My most recent favorite is the year after I was married she sent me a mini wedding photo album for my purse and another for my backpack. With all the craziness last year (David's blessing, traveling to Grandma's funeral, the funeral, and then Brad immediately flying out to dental interviews....) we didn't do anything to celebrate. I thought it wouldn't matter but really it was kind of sad.
This year we made up for it! Brad picked up a really fantastic balloon for David from the Hallmark store. (All of the really good pictures are blurry--our camera is having serious issues) and I paired it with a book in the shape of a truck. It was fun to see David come down the stairs and find a little Valentine. We still aren't sure which part he liked better the truck book or the balloon.
Brad spent the afternoon studying but we did a few little things for each other and were able to have a date night at home. We even watched the Notebook...that has to be one of my favorite romantic movies ever.

Love, love, love The Notebook! Sounds like a perfect Valentines Day to me!
When's the baby coming?
Glad you got a good Valentine's this year - you deserve it! xx
It looks like you could have gotten away with just the balloon! Glad that you make your child suffer with books instead of toys too!
