Happy Valentine's Day!!


The girls and I were very excited for our Valentine's Day suprise for Karl!! We made him an all red (and pink) dinner and everyone pitched in to help...it was SOOO much fun!! We had red meat (rare in our house but one of Karl's favorites), pink mashed potatoes, red jello, and red velvet cupcakes for dessert!! Natalee made a beautiful craft at school that we hung on the window for "decoration" and we decorated the table with candles (Ems and Nats idea) and Valentine confetti and we drank out of grown up cups with red drinks (cranberry juice and sprite).....




Karl's gift to me was a heart box of chocolates which I LOVE...(and a day later they were all gone...not because I ate them all but I think four little helpers were pretty sneaky all day long the next day :)


We also got daddy the movie "Flubber" as part of his gift because that was the first movie Karl and I saw after we got married in Hawaii....I think we liked the movie a little more than the girls did but they were all snuggly on the floor with popcorn (we were on the couch behind them) and it was truly a perfect Valentine's Day...hope yours was just as special!!!
