Happy Valentine's Day!

Today is Valentine's Day and it has been a good one. So different from Valentines of the past now that we are parents of two. The kids and I went to the gym (more about that in another post) and then went to lunch with two of my girl friends. Brian surprised me by coming home with not one, but TWO boxes of chocolate (he's totally trying to sabotage my diet :P). Also two roses. I am a bachelor fanatic, and last year he came home with one rose. Why one I had asked...because it was the final rose. Bachelor fans will get it! So this year I get two and next year three, he is so clever! This Valentines is different just because it won't be one spent out all night at dinner and a movie. Instead we are staying in. I am making fillet Mignon, shrimp, smashed potatoes, green beans with bacon and a lobster salad. Then we will probably watch American Idol and maybe a movie. Fingers crossed the kids go to bed early! Even though we are staying in I couldn't imagine a more perfect night. I feel like I have grown to appreciate the simple things. And now Valentines for me is not only about the love I have for my husband, but for my sweet babies and amazing family and friends. And also my life. I will update on how dinner turns out, I am attempting some Martha recipes and hopefully they will turn out! Happy Valentine's Day, hope yours is spent with those you love! Xoxo

I could only get a picture of this little love today, the other was not as cooperative.
