Valentine’s day, just the two of us

Valentine’s day this year was low-key compared to our first three celebrated together (one dating and two married).

2009:

As a recap, Joe took me to a very nice restaurant when we were dating and then stargazing afterwards.  Oh, and he gave me beautiful sapphire earrings.

2010:

Our first Valentine’s as a married couple, Joe surprised me with around 100 roses.

2011:

Last year Joe went all out crazy with this:

I received a rose each day starting a week before Valentine’s day with each day increasing in number until V-day.  On Valentines day, Joe gave me seven roses and a wonderful camera lens.  I gave him his favorite rendition of Lord of the Rings on cd and the Hobbit in written format.

2012:

This year we had the same menu as last year (maybe starting a tradition): side salad, asparagus, mashed potatoes and chicken piccata (from William and Sonoma).  We enjoyed drinking strawberry lemonade with dinner.  For dessert I made a delectable dessert, Golden Cake with Tangerine Fudge Frosting.  Joe did get me flowers and wrote a really lovely, sweet letter.  I gave Joe the Silmarillion (by J.R.R. Tolkien).
