To be honest, Valentine's Day really isn't a big deal around here. There are no candlelit dinners, no roses, no two-pound boxes of See's Nuts and Chews (hint, hint).
It's not that we're anti-VD (well, yes, actually, we are anti-VD, but we are not anti-Valentine's Day). I'm pretty sure we celebrated it a couple of times. And it's not lack of love that prevents us from celebrating. In fact, it's the strongest kind of love!
Four years ago A-Train made his appearance in early February, and ever since then, Valentine's Day has taken a back seat to whatever festivities are planned for the boy. Funny how becoming a parent changes every.single.thing about a person.
This year I wanted to bring back a bit of the sweetness that goes along with Valentine's Day:
Obviously, JBB and I can't eat quite this many cupcakes, so I hope the guys in the office enjoy the leftovers. And I hope there's chorus of "I love you man" going up in the break room.
