1) He buys me roses. I know it might sound cliche or overdone but I love that my man buys me roses. My dad (bless your heart if you're reading this) was never really the flower giving type so when I was dating Taber and I saw his Dad give his mom a dozen roses for Valentines day I was blown away. I secretly hoped that someday Taber would do the same for me and I'm happy to say, he does!
2) I get him chocolate covered strawberries. I don't know how this tradition started but it seems like for as long as we've been married chocolate strawberries have been a part of our Valentines days. Usually I get them at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory but this year I decided to save some money and make my own. They actually tasted exactly the same so I think we'll be doing the homemade kind from now on out : )
3) I heart attack our room. This year when Teya saw me putting up the hearts and swirlys in our bedroom she thought it was the most exciting thing ever. She kept saying "Wow! I really like your room mommy! It looks gorgeous!" So while she was at Preschool on Friday I decorated her room too. When she saw it I thought she was going to burst with joy. I'll definitely be doing that again in the future!
4) We dress for the occassion. I always wear pink or red and try to get Taber to do the same (alhtough this year he claimed he was already dressed before I reminded him to wear red) At least now I can dress the girls too. Here's Brinley in her heart speckled pajamas:
5) We make Valentine goodies. Last year I tried to do sugar cookies with Teya but she was a little too young to get it. She just wanted to eat all the frosting and the toppings. This year we made cupcakes and she was very hands on.
6) And finally, my favorite tradition of all, we eat awesome food. I'm so glad I married a man who loves to eat as much as I do! I was looking for on older picture of us to post for Valentines and I started laughing when most of the pictures I found involved us eating something. We are definitley two of a kind! Anyway, this year we had lots of delicious food and way too many desserts but oh it was fun! Happy Valentines Day! We hope you all enjoyed some fun traditions too!

Hip hip hooray! for super awesome food! Hope you get the chance to taste my mud brownie...I never had so much chocolate in my life!
What fun traditions! It is fun when you realize you actually HAVE traditions! It cracks me up how Taber is looking at his food with sheer joy in three of the four bottom pictures! Ha ha! Someday we will have to go on a double date and eat lots of good food! :)
I love little Brinley! I saw her picture and just started giggling. She's got such a cute smile and a sparkle in her eye!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Those are great traditions! I like the heart-attack idea and may have to instill that one! fun!
Brinley is so cute. Oh...and you guys got cool traditions.
