Valentines day!

We started off Valentines day with our usual heart shaped pancakes with strawberry topping, and this year I threw in heart (ish) shaped bacon! We got the girls a big cookie in a tin, and I made them little stuffed monsters. Grandma Chris came and heart attacked their rooms, leaving decorations, candy and jammies. Grandma Lori gave them pink bears she made for them at build a bear, and of course candy.

After lunch at McDonalds, we took the kids to sleep over with aunt Jaimie and the uncles (plus grandma and grandpa later.) We then headed to check in at anniversary inn, then to our dinner reservation at Faustina's. (it was Jeff's turn to plan) We doubled with my parents there, and they had a yummy prix fixe menu.
Apparently Jeff had ordered a dozen roses to be delivered during dinner, but they never came. He waited and called and waited, and eventually told me and as we were getting in the car, the restaurant called him and said they'd had the roses since before we got there!
Flowers in hand, we headed back to our hotel, where we were in the phantom of the opera room. There was complimentary bubbly and cheesecake, yum! We had a lovely night, recalling all of our past Valentines'and generally reminiscing. The next morning, was the yummiest breakfast, brought to our room.
On a non holiday note, from there we met up with my oldest friend Kate who was in town. We got to tour some rooms and have lunch at moochies. Not to mention ice cream... It's always awesome to see Kate, I'm so glad we've been able to keep in actual touch despite living on opposite sides of the country.

I am so behind! Your girls are so sweet. Makes me want one more (and only if it's a girl) so I can have daughters that are sister friends. Love their cuteness.
