Sorry this is a little late, but I wanted to do a little Valentine’s Day recap. First, it is really fun now that we are all grown up and have kids of our own and we can watch how they get so excited for holidays and occasions. My youngest, Emma, who is 2 was so excited when I got her up that morning and I told her it was Valentine’s Day. She jumped right up and was ready to go. She said. “It’s Valentine’s Day, it really is! We get to go to it!” I think she might have been just a little confused 🙂 but as excited as ever! They were excited to get special Valentine muffins for breakfast with a candle, because what kid does not like a candle and also special Valentines and treats throughout the day. All month I have been putting hearts on their bedroom doors telling them all the things we love about them and every morning they couldn’t wait to see what new heart was on their door.
As for Jim and myself, just being able to have a quiet dinner is a treat for us. With a 5 and 2 year olds that doesn’t happen very often. We decided to have our dinner a little later that evening, after the girls were in bed, and it was most definitely worth the wait! Earlier that week we talked it over and decided what we wanted to have and we have been anxiously waiting for it all week! I will say that there was absolutely nothing about the meal that was healthy… but oh my goodness it was delicious! On the menu was…
Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
Sauteed Asparagus ( I guess I lied, the asparagus was the healthy part of the meal :), balance right?!)
Garlic Bread
Earlier on Friday when I went to buy what we needed, I tried my best to buy gluten free pasta, but no, Jim would not hear of it. See, we rarely make this meal. I know it has been well over a year since we have had it and Jim wanted the real deal. I even tried to compromise and let us get whole wheat pasta but, no, this was just regular white pasta! It was very hard for me to buy that but I did because that is what Jim really wanted and this day is all about LOVE, right! 🙂 …
