Valentine's Day 2009

Cody and Caleb came over last week, and we worked on valentines for Shawn and DeAnne. Originally, I was planning on them making them for Grandpa and Grandma, aunts, uncles, etc, but after 2 valentines, they were done! :)


We munched on graham crackers while we colored.

On Valentine's Day, we had the family over for breakfast at our house. Pink frosted cinnamon rolls and egg in heart toast cups was the menu. We had saved this big box from Tristan's car, and Jason turned it into a fort.


Carolyn stopped by with a balloon and candy for each of the kids.


Julie and her friend Lichen came up for the weekend. They were wanting a kid fix and wanted to take all the kids for Saturday evening and overnight. We were all willing to oblige! Here Tristan is wearing Lichen's cool slippers!

Tristan opens his valentine from Grandma! Gummy bears and a bib! Thanks for the stash!


Wade's turn


So, with the boys all sent off to play with Julie, Lichen, and their cousins, Jason and I enjoyed a delicious dinner at home. Last year Jason made me crab and prawns for Valentine's Day. It had been wonderful, but I thought he had set the standard pretty high! This year, he totally outdid himself. This was our dessert that I made.


Lobster Tail!!! It was awesome!! Better than any cruise ship!

Parmesan crusted oysters!!! He also steamed some that we dipped in a garlic butter sauce.


Also, you can see twice-baked potatoes. He had bought some asparagus to make with the dinner, but forgot to fix it. We'll have that tonight. :)


Thanks for the wonderful Valentine's Day, Jason!! I love you!

I'm VERY impressed with Jason's cooking skills! Brian has never enjoyed cooking.
