one "love"ly weekend

I LOVE having Valentine's Day around a weekend.
More chances to celebrate!

Friday

I gave Steve a little gift to kick off the weekend...

He had wanted strawberry milk the last time we were in the grocery store,
and like the mean grocery budget nazi I am, I said no. :(
So I was making up for it!

...and then we hooked up our projector in our bedroom
and watched "The Majestic" on the wall.


Saturday
Steve's day

I woke up to this!
I had a card from him and a card from Jaden :)

Then he took me to the mall because he wanted to buy me a dress.
cute head :)
Sadly, because I'm picky and post partum, I didn't find anything.
So instead he bought me a cute sweater. :)

And then we went home, dressed up nice (yay for a cute new sweater)
and went out to eat at a cool Mediterranean restaurant.

Where we got this...
ahem, that is ALLIGATOR!
And it was SO good!
Especially with the raspberry jalapeno sauce...mmmm....


...and this.

Wow, what a day!
I'm so spoiled.


Sunday

We didn't do anything on to celebrate,
but we had a fun evening of dinner and games with some good friends.

Monday
Audrey's day

Man, my day was kind of a bust.
I wanted to do all kinds of cute and creative things for when Steve got home from work, but the day totally got away from me.

But at least I got to spend it with my other Valentine...
Yes, I had control over his wardrobe, haha.
His socks say "I heart Mum"-they were a Christmas gift from Aunt Laura from Germany :)

..and I did at least get this done.


(I heart attacked every wall of our living room)

The pink and purple hearts have little random reasons why I love Steve,
and the red hearts have reasons why Jaden loves him.


I didn't have time to make dinner :(,
so we went to a pizza place I'd been wanting to try.
It was kind of lame.
But then we came back and watched "Red"
--not a romantic movie at all,
but Steve had wanted to see it so that was my gift to him.

I never used to like Valentine's day,
but I LOVE it now because it's so fun to be creative and surprise each other with little meaningful things.
Overall, it was a success! :)
