Did everyone have a good Valentine's day? We did!
We started out the day by opening the presents Grandma Keller had sent home with us the night before.
Thumbelina and a package of Reese's, plus a Valentine's Day shirt. Russell got a toy too and a shirt as well.
Next was a visit to Grandma Smith so we could deliver her and Grandpa Smith's Valentine Cards.
Keldrie and Grandma Smith raced cars.
After that, we headed home for lunch with Daddy and naps for the kids. When we got home, I was surprised with a spotless house and the dishwasher running. Matt even vacuumed! We gave Keldrie the present we had bought her and then but her down for her nap. Matt is giving me an afternoon at the Park City Outlets as my present and I gave him a membership to club called Toastmasters. Then it was time for him to go to work.
I got to making him a chocolate cake. It turned out very delicious, but then the bottoms stuck to the round pans, so I have to picture for you. It was yummy, but not pretty. In fact, one whole side started to fall off when I frosted it. I told Matt "This is the ugly stepchild of the cake, we ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist."
Matt had to work from 2 to 7, and so the kids and I headed out to my mom's house for the afternoon.
What a cheese ball my daughter is!
Matt came home from work and made me an incredible steak dinner. The steaks were cooked so perfectly. Amazing! We had some sparkling apple cider with our dinner and finished off the night by watching one of our current favorite shows, White Collar. Matt rubbed my feet while we watched and I fed Russell. By 11, we were in bed and on our way to sleep.
It was a great day! It wasn't too expensive or high pressure and we had a newborn with us the whole time, but hey, he is pretty cute!
Sounds so fun! And I could go for some of that chocolate cake right now. :) Your kids are the cutest!
ReplyDeleteHe is pretty darn cute, I love that shirt on him!
ReplyDeleteYour Valentines sounds a lot like ours.....just perfect when you have kids huh! NO need to go out and spend lots of money it's the little things that count the most. Love that Matt cleaned for you, how sweet.....I don't think men realize just how much that really means to us. I can count on one hand the number of times Eric has started the dishwasher, certainly is not his speciality!
