Valentine's Day Goodies

My husband and I have only celebrated Valentine's Day at a restaurant once. That was enough for us. Oh, sure, we enjoyed the food and good company. But the two hour wait for a table, not so much. The restaurant didn't take reservations for Valentine's Day, so we thought we'd just hope for the best. When we found out how long the wait was, we thought about going home, but we were with another couple and had really been looking forward to a night out with them.

So the four of us made our way back to the van and we hunkered down for a couple of hours. I'll admit, we had some fun laughing and chatting together while we waited for our pager to buzz us in from the cold, but mini vans aren't built for cuddling. It's hard to enjoy a snuggle with your Valentine when there's an aisle separating your seat from his!

These days, hubby and I are more content to just stay home on Valentine's Day. We have a nice dinner together (usually with the kids!) and enjoy some cuddles afterwards on our comfy couch. If you decide to stay in this year for Valentine's Day, be sure to share something yummy for dessert. Check out these cute goodies from Grandin Bakery and surprise your Valentine with some sweet treats.
