  12. I spent my new year *VALENTINES DAY too and still do communicating on the internet. My sister gave me a computer for Christmas. Now I realize a printer would greatly enhance my performance. I’ve saved money on insurance rates and shopping and maybe I’ll win something.

  13. I cooked a special breakfast (bacon and eggs – not something we normally have since we have switched to turkey bacon) and then we cooked chinese food for dinner together complete with egg rolls and everything!
    Thanks

  41. This year for Valentines Day we spent the day skiing at a great ski resort fairly close to where we live. It was a day filled with fun, adventure and lots of exercise and fresh air! Then when we arrived home around 7:30 pm we made a festive family dinner together, the kids even helped stir and chop! We always make it festive by playing some lively music and sort of dancing around the kitchen while we create savory meals together. It was a special evening, but also something we enjoy doing together as a family very often, because we feel every day should be celebrated, not just on special holidays! We really need a new printer and this one from HP far exceeds all of our needs and would be so useful in our home for both the adults and the kids!

    Thanks so much for the wonderful chance to enter.

  93. We had a budget-friendly Valentine’s Day this year, which turned out pretty great — we stayed in and cooked dinner and dessert together, had a movie marathon (mostly horror movies, since we’re not really the rom-com types), and enjoyed our one indulgence, an expensive bottle of wine.

    Thanks!

  101. I didn’t go anywhere elaborate on Valentines day but I did buy each of my kids a small gift to let them know I think they’re special 😀

  111. For Valentine’s Day my sweetie took me out to lunch and made a romantic dinner at night after which we watched new DVD’s, and during the day he took on all of my “normal activity day” chores! I had my loved ones around me, including the non-humans: my wonderful German-Shepherd Husky mix Birdie, who’s compassionate, intelligent and loyal; my Russian Blue cat, Miss Kittica Kitty, and my parrots!

    Reply

  113. As a ‘gift’ I took the day off while my husband took care of the chores such as running errands, paying bills, cleaning around the house and caring for the kids. Now we just gotta figure out how to have Valentine’s Day about 364 more times a year! 🙂

    Reply

  115. I guess for some people Valentine’s Day is a much bigger deal than it is for my husband and me. We ate someplace cheap and then we went to see “The Wolfman.” We hardly ever go to the movies, so I guess that was kind of special.

    Reply

  120. Nice page! 🙂
    Well, I met a guy online ( I know, I know) who seemed to have a great head on his shoulders. 44 year old chemistry teacher with 3 kids of his own. We seemingly had a lot in common. Plans were for him to drive a few hours from N.Y. to spend the holiday. I went and got a gift and a card, nothing too over the top cause I’ve never even met this man in person. Something for his car actually in hopes that he had a safe trip back home. Guess what! He never showed, never even called! I’ve been alone on Valentines day before, no big deal…but try being DITCHED lol I had gotten my girls each a gift of course so they got theirs and I told them each why I love them so much and how much they mean to me. Turns out I was glad I got blown off, because my best friend called and invited me for a week at her new house (beautiful by the way!)…So, in short, I spent V-day with the two people who show me everyday what true love is…My daughters, and surrounded by friends and family…instead of with a complete, disrespectful loser who probably would have made my life miserable anyway!!! LOL Over all, I’d have to say I was feeling very lucky and very loved this Valentines Day!!
    P.S. Sorry for the Novel!

  131. It’s going to sound bad but we did nothing. Our birthdays are so close and just before Valentine’s so we decided to go big on the birthdays and skip on Valentine’s. My husband treats me so good all year round that I didn’t mind at all. 😉

  135. My fiance and I had a romantic dinner at home and watched a movie. He unfortunately had to work late but we made the best of it!

  141. Since it was the day before my husband was scheduled for Hip Replacement Surgery – we had a kind of DIY at home Surf & Turf (Filets and Calamari – After some Oysters Rockefeller – hubby is allegeric to Shrimp and Lobster, dang!)with some Sparkling Cider EARLY as he had to fast later on for the operation. Still it was nice and sweet (Oh – I forgot we made some Creme Brulee too.)

  142. Hubby and I went out for dinner – our anniversary is a couple days before Valentine’s Day so we celebrate them together.

  147. For Valentine’s Day, my boyfriend and I did the typical dinner. But we also walked along a FREEZING beach and then made out in the car like a couple of teenagers until a cop drove by us shining his lights. 🙂 It was a fun flashback while it lasted.

  157. I planned a nice quiet evening for the both of us without the baby and I did all of the dinner preparation for my wife so she could just relax and not have to chase the little one around for a change.

  159. Unfortunately, Valentine’s day was just a week or so post spinal surgery for me. So we didn’t do much except spend the day cuddled up (as best we could without hurting my back or incision) in bed watching my favorite movies. Although I was in pain, I did get to spend the entire day alone with my sweetie-pie hubby, so that was nice.

  177. I did not do a lot on Valentine’s Day but I enjoyed spending time with my husband and sons. We stayed at home and watched the Daytona 500. I helped my boys make fried sugar biscuits and my husband gave me beautiful diamond ring. Thanks.

  197. Valentines day is always a pretty quiet holiday around here. I gave my teenager a card with some money, which is always a favorite and of course some chocolate. And I received a beautiful vase full of red and white roses with fern and heather mixed in.

    Other than that, a normal day.

  207. Well, since Chinese New Year, my dog Minnie’s 2nd anniversary, and Valentine’s Day were all the same day, I gave my dog her special dinner, had Chinese food for dinner, and Valentine’s dinner around 9 p.m. I made heart-shaped pizza, a heart-shaped cherry cheescake, pickled beets and boiled eggs, and fruit punch juice.

  265. Hubby and I stayed home because we were snowed in and the restaurant we had reservations for was closed due to snow complications. Fortunately, 2/12/10 is our wedding anniversary and he took me out to dinner to celebrate our anniversary, so this year was not totally wasted. He also drew me a wonderful bubble bath with rose petals and candles and music as a V-Day suprise. It was a very nice suprise.

But I said what I could to cheer her up and give her all my support and told what she has meant to me all these years. I only wish I could afford to go see her for a while or get her back her for a bit to give her a chance to get away from it all for a moment.

  623. My hubby and I are doing little things the days before Valentines {watching “chic flicks”, buying each other gifts, going out to dinner} and then for Valentine’s day {after church}, we’ll spend the time playing games and just being together.

  628. We are going to go to church in the morning and then make a nice dinner and set a fancy table. Will probably do a chocolate fondue too. With 3 small kids, not too much romance at the moment.

  630. We’ll probably just grab pizza (hey, I don’t have to cook or clean up) because a week later we’re going on our “mid-winter break”…to Vegas.

  637. I let my hubby go to “Muddy-Gras” (a redneck mud-fest)for the first part of the weekend and then Sunday he is taking me to the Home & Garden Show. We usually pick up a little something for each other “from the kids” and have dinner out.

  641. I made a great dinner and then we watched a movie at home that we have been wanting to see. Oh, and the kids were at relatives for the night.

  645. With 5 kids 6 and under there was just no way to get out, just the two of us, this year. So, we planned a potluck party with a couple other families! Can’t wait.

  648. I would LOVE to have a quiet, romantic dinner out followed by a fun romantic comedy. But, alas, Li’l Empress is struggling with going to bed nicely for anyone beside Mommy or Daddy. So that likely will have to be a raincheck. I really don’t know what else The Boss has up his sleeve. I left it to him, having just finished planning and hosting an EPIC Olympics International Feast here with about 25 friends and family. We had a blast and I’m good with whatever happens the rest of the weekend. As long as I get a nap at least once before Monday!

  658. I am planning on making a super fun day for my family. I got the kids some cute stuffed animals and made some homemade chocolates for them. For my husband I got him a big plush bear and a bouquet of chocolate hearts.

  661. Nice printer! Valentines is no longer a big thing in this house with the exception of getting a couple things for the kids. Son’s birthday is the 12th and hubby’s is the 17th so we typically do a lot of spending/celebrating between the birthdays. 🙂 I DID come home for Valentines Day when my son was born. That year (’01) he was our Valentines present for hubby and I. 🙂 Can’t believe he’s now 9!!

  685. After getting blasted with two blizzards in one week, we are staying home and enjoying a yummy dinner (surf & turf) together.

  697. Not much. Not sure if my husband has anything planned beyond maybe some chocolate for my little one and I . We have talked about getting a Wii. He’s wanted one and I thought Valentines would be the perfect time, this holiday is about love, and love is from the heart, and I really want the Wii Fit package to have a healthy one. All I know for sure is that we’re spending a quiet day together at home. 🙂

  708. My husband has to work that day but when he gets home we are going to order a pizza and cuddle while staying in and watching family movies. The kids will be home with us which makes it even better because I won’t have many more valentines with them but I hopefully will have more with my husband.

  728. I am surprising my husband with a date night out. My friend and I are babysit-swapping and planning dates for our husbands! We will also celebrate as a family by exchanging small gifts (my daughter made a picture frame for Daddy), reading books, and making cupcakes.

  729. Valentine’s Day is our 13 year anniversary, so we are going on a snowshoeing trip to Amish Country with our daughter. She’s so excited that she almost can’t stand it!

  733. For Valentine’s Day I am going to spend time with my three children, and then volunteer (as I do every Sunday) in the oncology ward of a local hospital. I bake for my family, and for the nurses and staff at the hospital every Sunday, so I plan to make chocolate dipped strawberries for everyone. Tomorrow we are headed to pick strawberries, so we’ll have large, fresh strawberries for dipping! It’s going to be a fabulous weekend.

    So far, I have managed to bake homemade, heart-shaped sugar cookies with my 4 year old son – some for us, some for my husband’s office. I helped same son make a card for him & his sister to give to Daddy on the big day. And as a family we plan to go out for dinner to celebrate!
