Happy Valentines Day!

Chris and I went out last night to avoid the V-day rush--it's kinda our thing. In all the years we've been dating/married we've only every been out on actual Valentines Day once. Whatever. :)

We went to Uncle Julios for dinner. They have a dinner a'mour and it's FANTASTIC. We ate there last year too--this is also our thing. :) It was a huge platter of a lobster tail, bacon wrapped grilled shrimp, fresh guacamole and steak and chicken fajitas with freshly made tortillas. Yum, they melt in your mouth.

Afterwards, we went to Cafe Intermezzo for coffee and dessert (not that we were hungry, but, when it's offered, I'm hard pressed to say no to chocolate). I love going here because the atmosphere is awesome. It takes me back to Europe and you feel all tucked away in a little table with amazing cappacino's and desserts to die for. I was way too full for a full blown dessert though, so we just got chocolate covered strawberries. Wow, they were good.

The men's ministry at our church put on a dance for our church and the community last night. We stopped by for a few dances (there was even a live band). Everything was decorated so well and it was fun to see friends and socialize. All in all, a great Valentines Day (Eve) for '09!

This morning, we realized we had no bisquik, so pancake Saturday couldn't happen, but while sitting around the table we took pics of the kids wishing you a Happy Valentines Day!!

(she is giggling, not crying in this picture. Though, when we started the venture, she was crying.)

My sweet boy. Even without a Valentines day hat he is precious. :)

For a special treat this afternoon we all went to Chick fil a for lunch. We've been talking about it the last few days and Anna-Kate was on cloud nine. We met one of her good friends there, which just doubled her pleasure! :) Ryan discovered chocolate milkshakes, so all in all, a great day so far.

I love all the pics, but esp the one of you & Chris. You guys look great! Your Valentines Day (Eve) night out sounds fantabulous!! Glad you had so much fun and some time together. My parents head the marriage ministry at our church, and this year's V-Day "event" was a catered dinner & dance! :) We actually didn't attend this year though...our Small Group Bible Study met tonight. We hosted and the kids always come, so we made it a Valentine's special. Everyone has so much fun!

Happy Valentine's Day!!
