We had a wonderful Valentines week at our house!
I decided that starting February 1st that I was going to leave a Valentine for Paul in various places until Valentines day. It was really fun finding different ideas that I could give to him (Thank you Pinterest!!) and I think he enjoyed wondering where he was going to find his valentine for the day. I also did a "fancy" dinner for my family the night of Valentines. We had a cheese fondue appetizer, salad, steak and baked potatoes and a chocolate fondue for desssert. I also bought some sparkling apple cider to drink out of some fancy flutes I found a the dollar store (I think that was Carson & Jaedyn's favorite part). It is fun to show my family how much I love all of them and to have all of us together to celebrate the Valentines Holiday. As usual I also got everyone a little gift - Carson & Jaedyn got new movies, Kelsi got an Itunes gift card, Paul got a new CD and tickets to "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me" that was showing at Abravanel Hall two days after Valentines.
Paul and I extended the Valentines Holiday by going to dinner at The Blue Lemon and going to the show on Thursday. It was so much fun! We laughed and really enjoyed seeing how they produce the radio program. Mo Rocca was also one of the guest panelists so I was very excited about that!!
Then, as if we hadn't shared enough love with everyone - we decided to take the kids to the Cinnegrill on Saturday. That is one of our favorite places downtown to go eat, and we thought the kids might enjoy it. Carson loved his spagetti and the kids were excited to give a dollar tip to the piano player.
Valentines is quickly becoming my second favorite Holiday (I don't think anything will ever beat out Halloween). I am so grateful to have my wonderful husband, and my amazing kids! I know that I don't ever show them enough how much I love them, so I hope that maybe at least on Valentines day they will have some idea of how much I really do love them!!
