Happy Valentines Day

Roses are Red
Violets Are Blue
Carnations are sweet
and so are YOU!!
Happy Valentines Day!



So I will be honest and the day didn't start of that cheery...
I was in quite the mood this morning and had to stop, take a breath and start over.
Daddy was nice enough to pop out to the store and grab some sweet treats for breakfast.
Max got a special something from cupid..a little book called Snuggle Puppy from mine and Jareds favorite author Sandra Boyton. She has such great children's books. (easy, fun reads)
Granddad and Nonna sent Max a very special surprise and mama and papa send their v-day love.
Max's school project was his little hands...for mommy and daddy.
I thought I would make some treats and tried my hand at layered jello.
My intentions were good. I bought cherry, grape and strawberry...the basic v-day colors but forgot that they are so close in color you cant see the layers :( next time i will remember to dilute them with yogurt and clear jello so there is a contrast...whoops (I guess you live and learn).
However my red-velvet cupcakes turned out nice. I made some with white icing and some with chocolate. Topped them off with red peep hearts.


Jared completed the evening with a wonderful meal of king crab legs, scallops and steak.
Max has a new favorite food...crab! He ate most of mommys dinner :)
Hint hint...we could very easily be sea side people..LOL! Awwww that would be the life!
It was a nice day. Quiet and understated.

Hey, I bought that same Snuggle Puppy book for Austin this year. Great minds think alike! Looks like you guys filled your sweet tooth this year and had an awesome dinner! We just had all kinds of crab at Market Street last week for Brian's birthday. Save us a room in your seaside house!:)
