Be My Valentine

I like Valentine's Day. It's pretty fun for me. I know every day is supposed to be like Valentine's Day, and we are to show our love all through the year. But I still think it is nice to set aside a day to celebrate love.

Here are some ways that I like to celebrate Valentine's Day (besides the "obvious"):

Sugar cookies from my sister-in-law,

a homemade steak dinner made by me and my sweetheart,
and watching Valentine's Day, our annual tradition.

We are pleased to announce a new member to our family...

...OUR TABLE!!

Haha. Okay it wasn't very funny, especially since I don't even have a PICTURE! But, Mom and Dad dropped off their old table to our apartment and it turned out to be a fun weekend with my parents.

Steve and Dad went out to the cold mountains to ski, snowboard and spend some in-law time together.

Mom and I decided that snow didn't sound that fun, so we headed to Riverwoods for some window shopping, sushi and chocolate.

We also bought matching sweaters.

We regrouped in the afternoon and browsed around Cabela's. Being my first time there, we took a lot of pictures.
