Valentine's Day 2014

Yey, another day filled with hearts!

How do I know Valentine's Day is approaching? Because I am not allowed to go inside the girls' bedrooms, especially when they are both busy doing something (you know, like a surprise).

First, our doggie Valentine

Oh well, I have to create surprises of my own, too. But first, we all had to agree that the main Valentine celebration would be during lunch time.

I would have loved to go out for dinner but celebrating heart' day at home has become a tradition, as well as creating those Valentine surprises. What do we have for Valentine's Day this year?



Lunch time is just a light meal. Because my husband promised he would cook a special dinner for us.

Valentine's Day Lunch

Simple finger food, mostly heart-shaped, of course!

Heart-shaped waffles

The girls' favorite Filipino food, called Lumpiang Shanghai (Spring Rolls)

And the usual, heart-shaped lemon cake.

The girls' gifts? A gift certificate filled with a promise to do household chores :-)

My husband's gift to me, and my gift to him? I will tell you in my next post!

Valentine's dinner, courtesy of my husband's special cooking, turned out great, too.
