Do you guys ever organise Valentine's for your parentals?

I just did. I booked them in for a romantic movie called "The Holiday" in an outdoor cinema next to a river. There's a 4,400 sq meter screen on hydrolics and there's a big sail with a bar. The cinema is in front of the city landscape with all the lights and the movie airs as the sun sets. Pure romance!!!

Nope, then again, they're divorced and wouldn't do something like that. But I don't celebrate Valentine's anyway, really.

Grr. I wish there were outdoor theaters where I live.

Then, I would actually watch a romantic movie with my sweetie. Until my city get an outdoor theater...time to go back into the dark cavern boxes.

lol If you call not asking them to babysit the girls so we could go out and celebrate, giving them the chance to go out, then yes we do give them a Valentine's. :) Also, the girls make them cards. :)

No. I'll have to make them a red dinner though. xD

Thats pretty awesome of you! If I had a kid that would be something I would really love!

Do you do something for them every year?

I think we didn this for Valentines day, but it might have been their anniversary. When we were younger (I'm guessing maybe 14 and 11) we turned the kitchen into a romantic restaurant. We pushed the kitchen table aside and used a small table for two, created menus (of course, they only had one choice, and it was spaghetti-related), music, candles, etc. We surprised them when they came home from work. It was really cute. I think we might still have the menus somewhere...

My parents are divorced, and my mom has never been into Valentines Day, so it would prove a waste of time. I don't even organize my own Vday :P

Other than me and my brother (And by extension my sister until about a decade ago when she moved out) just promised not to kill eachother / Break anything while they went out. :)

We were usually able to keep to that promise.
