Valentines Day

I cant believe that I forgot to take any pictures, but wanted to post about our great day anyway :) Steve and I started celebrating Valentines day Friday night by going out to dinner with a bunch of our friends. It was nice to go out with everyone and even nicer to not have to worry about the kids. After dinner we went to the stake center where there was a dance going on. I enjoyed the chocolate fountain a little too much and ate lots of chocolate covered strawberries (my favorite). We danced for a couple hours and then headed home and realized just how old we were getting because it was only 10:30 and we were exhausted.

Saturday morning was typical and Steve went to a ham radio class and then we went to the gym. We lounged around the house for a good part of the day. The highlight of the day was dinner. I made lasagna and salad, we set the table with glass dishes for everyone (big deal at our house) I put the girls valentines from us and their grandparents next to there plates and then we got out the sparkling cider and candles. Until the lights went out the girls were not very excited about dinner, but after their comments were something like this..... "mom you made a super special dinner, thanks" and " this is a very special day" "can we do this everyday" "what if the candle fall will it start a fire", you get the idea. :) After the girls went to bed Steve and I played a couple of games together. Over all it was a GREAT Valentines day and we hope you all had great days as well.

We celebrated ours the night before too. But we got you beat, we were home by 9:30! Late nights just aren't fun anymore unless you are in your pajamas and watching a movie with your hubby! I love it.

I know you and Steve love dancing together, so I'm sure that was the most romantic evening ever. And you're so cute to make the dinner special for the whole family!
