A sweet holiday

Last week we had a little set back which is never fun before a favorite holiday but thank goodness for an awesome Nana, we got a package that the kids are still talking about and trumped our little valentines to them. The tradition here is that Nana would drop the valentines on the doorstep for the kids. This year she mailed a package and Chris put the gifts on the doorstep and rang and ran.

When Jocelyn opened the door Chris yelled "who brought these?!" and Jocelyn said, "Nana did" and Chris said "she drove all the way to Colorado?!" and Jocelyn said "No, they came in that package today." Oh! Way to ruin some adult fun Joc!

Growing up for Valentine's day my parents would make a super fancy, romantic dinner for the whole family. My dad would get me and my sister a valentine and my mom would get my brothers something. I've always loved Valentines day, and have tried to continue with the tradition. For our romantic dinner we had the yummy brown sugar/dill weed salmon (thanks Darcy for bringing this recipe into our lives) and coconut fried shrimp. The kids were less than fans so... I don't even know what they ate actually...oh well!

{He didn't get as messy as last year which was a little disappointing.}

I'm trying to be careful about what I eat because I'm ballooning with this kiddo so I kept my cool with all the Valentine's candy and treats we got and made. Yesterday I got the call that my girl scout cookies are in so my pregnancy diet went on hold till these cookies are all gone.

Why do the evil girl scouts make such awesome cookies?!
