Yesterday was Valentines Day. It's funny here in the US we make a big deal about every holiday, especially V-day. every1 expects to get a little something. even just friends send each other cards and stuff. Alex went to school with a card for every kid in her class (20) and returned with, you guessed it, 20 cards and a bag full of candy. It was cute reading through them.

Before school we did a little gift exchange at home. I bought Anastasia a dozen roses and made a little collage of photo's of some of our family in a nice mat. Alex had made a card for her mum and picked out some chocolates too. Anastasia had bought me some of my favorites from the British store. Things I can't do without like twiglets and cadbury's flake!!!

I had to work in the evening so we went up toValley View for lunch. It rained the whole day which made an interesting drive up into the mountains.
