Devin was pretty up front with me from the beginning that he wasn't a very big fan of Valentine's Day, and I don't mind. He still seems to find his ways to do sweet things and make me feel a little spoiled. I, on the other hand, am a pretty cheesy person, and tend to go overboard with that cheesiness daily, so Valentine's Day for me tends to include spoiling him just as much. Last year, he got me pink roses and we went to Wing Nutz.
This year, we're going to The Banff Mountain Film Festival, and probably Wing Nutz. I had recommended we make reservations somewhere, because everywhere will be packed, and we will be hungry anyway, but I think we'd both rather carry on that tradition anyway. I gave Devin his present early. But only because I had ordered it on our joint-account debit card, in hopes it would be here on time, but I knew he would see it early anyway on the card's account history, that he's so good at keeping up on. I got him a 2 year subscription to Outside Magazine, which I know he's been mulling over doing so for himself for awhile now. I also made him this:
(this is what I was talking about earlier. I'm really cheesy)
Last night we decorated sugar cookies. I wanted to try royal icing. I've never used it before. I followed Emily's instructions on Cupcakes and Cashmere, but the frosting came out a lot more runny then I anticipated, which made for some interesting looking cookies. I'm not even going to post the picture of pretty lace/doily icing patterns I was going to try, because our cookies will look like they were done by children compared to that. But it was a lot of fun to do together, very messy, and now we know next time, we need to add more powdered sugar.
(did you notice? their hearts).
Happy Valentine's day, Dev. Thank you for being my Valentine.
