I know I'm a day late and a dollar short but here is my Valentines Day post anyway. Mike and I Celebrated on Friday night while the girls were at my mom's house decorating cookies with all the other grand kids. 
I went to drop them off and stayed for a little bit because Mike told me I couldn't come back until 6:30 but when I got home there was a candle light dinner waiting for me! He make steak, garlic potatoes, the fancy salads like you get in the restaurant and desert all in the hour that I was gone! Amazing I know and everything tasted great! The funny part to me was that later I walked by the computer and the web site that was up was how to boil and egg...of all the food prep he did it was the egg that got him!
So anyway it was a wonderful evening at home with just the two of us and the girls had a great time with their cookies too! On Saturday, actual Valentines, following in the tradition of my mom we had pink pancakes but I took it a little farther and made pink eggs and we had pink (strawberry) milk.
I was pretty proud of and both Rory and Paige loved it! We went to see Grandparents too and one asked Rory to sing a Valentine song and she just busts one out and it was a real song she learned in preschool but I didn't even know she knew it so I was just as surprised as they were. I goes like this: (tune of mary had a little lamb)

Maybe a day late but NOT a dollar short!! :)
What fun Valentine's traditions..love the pink breakfast idea & how sweet that Mike set up a candle light dinner. -The egg thing on the computer-just precious!
Boiled eggs can be tricky ;-) I LOVE Valentine's Day. It is more about all of the loves in my life since there is always plenty of love to go around.
So sweet what Mike did. You are always so creative with all the holiday stuff. You should give classes for us boring, non-creative moms around here :)
