Happy Valentines Day!!

For some reason Valentines Day is a holiday that I could take or leave, but every year without fail I seem to always ask myself...."Do you think Brian remembered? Will he actually put some thought into something this year, or will it be the token Costco roses? What do you all think it was this year?

Emmi was for sure my favorite Valentine this year. No offense Brian...you took the back burner this year. I made a lunch with as much red in it as possible. I set her pink table up cute and we had a little Valentine picnic. Her favorite was the red cherry Fresca in her tiny goblet. I won't tell you about the multiple spills due to no fine dexterity. All in all it was my Valentines highlight.



After a nap we went to our 3:00 sugar cookie decorating appointment with Grandma Birkeland. Emmi didn't seem to care about eating the cookies she just cared about the sprinkles and the frosting. She definitely didn't get that from me. I hate frosting. She had a blast. What a fun tradition we would love to keep from years to come.


In the evening we got a babysitter and we went to Biaggi's with 5 other couples in the ward. It was really fun having a group night out. Lots of laughs and just really relaxed. We were hoping to come home with a sleeping child, but that just didn't happen. Dangit. Still I am wondering if Brian remembered me as his Valentine.

So, we got Emmi down and we went into the living room. There I sat with my gift. So Brian got up and grabbed his. He opened mine first. My Valentines are always homemade. This year was an R rated witty poem that I wrote just for MY LOVE!!! My brother-in-law Brett inspired me of that one....wait...not the R rated part, just the poem part.

So what did Brian get me this year?????? You are all wondering in such anticipation. NO.....it wasn't Costco roses. Those weren't in the budget this year. he he!!! It was a funny card and some chocolate turtles. It was the first year for chocolates so I couldn't give him a bad time. We ate chocolates and watched TV. How romantic is that?
