Last year I had cookies sent to his office &amp; he bought me chocolate &amp; flowers :) Then we went out for a nice dinner. This year I'd like to go on a date without LO...maybe go see The Vow ;) &amp; dinner would be nice too. I actually want a photoshop action for my camera, romantic I know ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65887 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:14:52 +0000 skibobrown 65887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do celebrate. We usually go out for a nice dinner, although a couple of times we've just gotten dressed up and made a really nice dinner at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65881 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:11:26 +0000 MH.Abroad 65881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of, but we'll make a bigger deal out of it when we have little ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65855 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:50:44 +0000 Boogs 65855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We celebrate, but like you just stay home and cook a meal. We alternate the years each of us cooks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65837 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:39:37 +0000 LuLu Mom 65837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always make dinner at home to avoid all the crowds. We usually eat out a couple days later as a treat. We usually get small gifts for each other, but nothing crazy or large. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65823 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:31:52 +0000 betsyboop 65823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: That is SO cool! Enjoy NYC! Ever since we got a dog, we've been obsessed with dog shows too. We're looking forward to the Puppy Bowl this Sunday :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65815 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:20:40 +0000 oliviaoblivia 65815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't usually do anything romantic...but it was a tradition in my house growing up to watch the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show (dorky, but whatevs) so Hubs now watches with me and we get take-out. This year we're going NYC to watch it in person. I'm crazy excited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65808 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:14:59 +0000 mediagirl 65808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will make him a card and he'll get me one. He usually does a little something for me but it's not a big holiday for us. This year, I'm not even going to be home on Valentine's Day. I'll be traveling for work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65755 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:29:07 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 65755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think we have ever gone out on Valentine's Day. We usually stay in. We do exchange little gifts. This year though we are going to Movie Tavern to watch The Phantom Menace and drink margaritas. I'm a huge Star Wars fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65754 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:25:00 +0000 calsmom 65754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is traveling for work that week, so no celebrating for us! We never celebrated it to begin with though :)...I'll probably get him an obnoxious, cheesy gift for when he gets back just because we are big dorks like that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65750 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:23:21 +0000 mrsjyw 65750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't usually go out to eat on Vday as we like to avoid the madness... but DH always buys flowers/choco. Last year - I bought him flowers/choco too! LOL</p> <p>This year we're going out to a local italian joint that we have a gift cert to... and going to see The Vow if the theater isn't super packed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65749 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:21:24 +0000 betsyboop 65749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea: No soufflé this year, I'm going to try to make something a bit more foolproof :) I just have to figure out what exactly that is... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65694 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:22:50 +0000 Crisark 65694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He will be bowling with his weekly bowling league and I will be at home around 8pm after working all day lol Not a whole lot of celebrating going on with us this year.<br /> He normally gets me something and I normally make something cute for him. We don't make it a huge deal.<br /> Besides, our youngest birthday is the day before so normally our budget is tapped after paying for bday parties lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65685 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:13:15 +0000 lilteacherbee 65685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I celebrate with my preschool class! Tons of fun!</p> <p>DH and I usually don't make a huge deal out of it, maybe just go out to dinner. This year though I'm re-ordering his wedding band for him. He lost it on Christmas Eve and we thought that we'd find it by now (it HAS to be in our house somewhere!), but we haven't. So I'm going to surprise him with a new one on Valentine's Day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65657 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:36:17 +0000 yoursilverlining 65657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We really just use Valentine’s Day as an excuse to go out to a fancy meal (like we need to have an excuse!) ;-p</p> <p>We don’t celebrate with flowers, chocolate or gifts or any sort. Just dinner out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65648 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:18:49 +0000 tequiero21 65648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we usually celebrate with dinner. he's bought me roses and all before, but i always tell him it's a rip-off and not to waste money! they always jack up the prices on v-tine's day. i'd rather have chocolate hehe....</p> <p>this year, i have a special present for him hehehehe. he's been wanting a giants sweatshirt so i ordered him one that should come in time for superbowl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65641 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:16:15 +0000 plantains 65641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He always brings me flowers, we write each other letters and we cook an elaborate dinner at home. We never go out or buy presents or anything like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65638 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:14:15 +0000 Andrea 65638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I can't say that we do. We have celebrated a few here and there, but I can remember doing anything for a few years already. Are you going to try the souffle again? :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65630 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:11:55 +0000 polkadots 65630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we either stay in and make something homemade... (pizza) or we go out the day before or after so we don't hit the big crowds! This is our first year with LO though so we will see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65621 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:09:08 +0000 prettylizy 65621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually do something little. Our first V-day living together I brought home heart shaped pizza and put it in the warming drawer in our oven to keep warm while we waited. Turns out that wasn't a warming drawer, it was a broiler (I'd never seen or heard of anything like that before). Pizza box lit on fire, had to use our fire extinguisher, ruined the pizza...... I'll never live that one down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65573 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 10:22:18 +0000 heffalump 65573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to do a little something special, but nothing big. It's too annoying to go out with those crowds. This year my hubby will be recovering from surgery and having to eat bland food... so maybe I'll make him a heart shaped turkey sandwich :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65530 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 09:35:38 +0000 chopsuey 65530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not big Vday celebrators. DH's traveling that week so it'll just be me and my LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-valentines-day#post-65529 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 09:32:00 +0000 betsyboop 65529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you all celebrate Valentine's Day? My husband and I have never actually gone out on VDay, we prefer to stay home and cook together. Last year was our first VDay as a married couple, and we tried to make a cheese soufflé which didn't work, and we ended up eating ramen! </p> <p>Any exciting plans for this year's VDay? </p>
