how we celebrated the day of LoVE

we're big on holidays. all of them. why wouldn't you be? perfect excuse for gifts, celebrations, and just something a little out of the norm. the past couple years ben and I haven't been committed to braving the date out chaos on the day of love (though we may pick this back up in the future) instead we've opted for a perfect evening at home--and thus have saved ourselves from witnessing some uncomfortable restaurant proposal or something (we live in a college town. stereotypical valentines at it's best).

our holiday started last week with valentine card preparation and mailing.

and we practiced loving on each other.

and then the 14th arrived and it was full of roses, and biggby, and donuts for breakfast, and various mickey mouse paraphernalia, and new books, and cards, and take-out italian, and a fire, and downton abbey. 
*contented sigh.

Oh Downton Abbey. After Doug skipped the end of the Super Bowl to be home in time for Downton, I figured I better check it out. I'm hooked and keep hearing British accents in my head :-)
