A day of love...

February 14th, 2008

Valentine's Day

Tony comes through again.

Question: Do I have the most amazing husband?

Yes!
Tony gave Indie and me our own matching bouquets of the most beautiful pink roses, complete with a love note for each of us.  It was beyond wonderful.
We gave Indie a new froggy towel and this book.
Indie looked adorable in her Valentines outfit courtesy of Kim.
Our day started out with a scare as Alicia was rushed to the ER because of chest pain.  They were worried it might be a blood clot as pregnant women are at a higher risk for that.  After a blood test, an x-ray, and an EKG they ruled out a blood clot and sent her home.  Thank goodness everything was okay.
This is what I gave the girls for Valentines.  I bought the jar from Allie and Lindsey helped me make the "friend" scrapbook.
This year, instead of trying to find a babysitter on a holiday and fighting the crowds at a restaurant, we decided to stay in for a romantic dinner with our best friends.  We put the kids to bed early and enjoyed the evening.

The menu:

florentine artichoke dip
portobello mushroom saute
strawberry avocado salad
blue cheese crusted filet mignon with port wine sauce
chocolate covered strawberries and white chocolate mousse with blackberries
Allie did all the hard work so thanks Al.
It was a great day.



P.S. Friday Feature will return this Friday.  
I really dropped the ball this weekend...explaination to follow.
