Valentine's Day is Saturday...what do you do with your special someone? For the past 2 years, my husband and I have had a nice dinner at home, complete with our own waiters! (The boys dressed up and waited on us!) It's fun, easy and we don't have to brave any crowds!
Valentine's Day, for me, is a day to let everyone know how I feel about them...all my family AND friends! I love the verse,
"A Friend Loves at all Times - Proverbs 17:17"
and I always print it on cards and give it with goodies to friends. One of our favorite comedians jokes that Valentine's Day used to be just for your girlfriend/wife and now it has extended to include everyone. He jokes how awkward it was the first time he got a Valentine's card from his grandmother! I think it's sweet. I love any excuse to give a gift and show I appreciate others, it's just who I am, I am a giver by nature!
So, I currently have 4 batches of colored sugar cookie dough chilling in my fridge! 2 bright pink and 2 bright purple. Tomorrow will find me baking Valentine's cookies (heart-shaped, of course!) Later I will drizzle them with royal icing and sprinkle them with colored sugars. Then I will wrap them up individually to give to those I care for...and the joy I get from their faces when they receive them, that is MY reward!
I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day no matter what you do...take a moment to tell those you love how special they are to you!
Blessings,
Eliana

Yes, Eliana, you ARE a giver by nature! And no surprise that one of the favorite things you give is sweets.
How truly blessed you are to have two romantic boys who wait on their parents on Valentine's Day. Live it up!
