Valentine's Day- I totally forgot to post this!

I just love my cute family!

We had a really nice Valentine's Day. Nate and I actually got to go out Friday night as well. Two dates in two nights....that's like some kind of miracle or something!!! We were supposed to go to the Adult Stake Dance here, but our tickets were given to someone else because we didn't answer our phone.....lame. But it was actually kind of a good thing because I was not feeling well. We ended up hanging out at the mall and then getting dessert afterward. It was SO NICE. It's been a LONG time since we just walked through a mall, kid-free. I loved it. And I love the time to talk with Nate, uninterrupted. So then Saturday we all just bummed around for most of the morning :) another favorite of mine. I was able to finish the pajama pants I was making for the kids. My friend (and former Young Woman Leader) Kim had some leftover fleece that she had bought for way cheap and didn't need anymore, so she taught me how to make pajama pants. SO EASY by the way. I've never sewn anything with a pattern, and I was always nervous to, but she made it look so easy and it really wasn't all that difficult. They're obviously not perfect mind you :) But I love them! And the fabric was "SO soft" (screamed Charity) that it doesn't matter to the kids what they look like either :). I was really happy that they were so excited to wear them to bed that night.

So we left in the early afternoon to take the kids to Nate's sister's house. She watched them for us so that Nate could surprise me with dinner at Rodizio Grill (we've both been wanting to go there for so long). It was SOOOOOOO Good. My awesome husband made reservations too, so we weren't among the millions who had a 2 hour wait. That place is SO stinkin' good though. It's going to be hard to not want to go there for everything now! I loved it. Then we were able to get home at a decent hour and have a nice peaceful evening to ourselves with kids in bed. So nice. I just love Valentine's Day. I wish I had been feeling better and done more with my kids and stuff during the week. I still want to make heart cookies, just because. But it was a fun day. The girls really loved doing their little Valentine's for their classes too. I LOVED that when I was little. It's fun that they haven't removed that tradition from the schools. So anyway. That was our Valentine's day.
