Tradition

That's the theme for the 2 year anniversary or the 104th Mono Monday entry today.  Well Valentines were always a tradition from when I was very young to when my own children were young and as they grow older.  There are always special surprises and despite some of the commercialism, I do like that holiday about Love in the dead of winter.  And though it's a little early to start decorating for it, these little hearts brighten up the mantle for the next few weeks.

Many thanks to Osuzanna and Paladian for hosting and to Paladian for originating this challenge 2 years ago.
