L.O.V.E.

We had a fabulous Valentine's Day/Weekend this year. We got some fun Valentines from Tay's cousins in the mail as well as a cute little dress for baby Kyla - Taylor had fun hugging it and saying, "oooh!" We had a gift certificate for dinner at La Caille, so on Friday night we enjoyed a fabulous $260 dinner & only had to pay the tip. We had so many delicious dishes. They are all served in small portions, but I still couldn't finish it all. Between the two of us we had: delicious breads, smoked duck with cucumbers, crab & shrimp cocktail, french onion soup, crab & avacado & grapefruit salad, wilted spinach salad, Red Snapper with yellow pepper sauce (David's main dish), Filet Mignon with mushrooms (my main dish), some fancy-ish chocolate cake with icecream, & a crepe with ice cream & fresh berries. Our awesome waitress also let us know that we could order virgin specialty drinks, so we had a delicious strawberry daquiri and pina colada. It was such a wonderful and relaxing dinner; however, I just don't think we could ever justify actually paying for a meal like that...but it was fun to have once!

On Saturday, Taylor and I made and decorated sugar cookies. Taylor loves to help cook. He even has an apron that was David's when he was little. David and I also made a hot chocolate run to 7-11 late Saturday night - we used to do that a lot when we were first dating. I love mixing in the cream packets to make it extra creamy & to flavor it...my favorite is Irish Cream. Sooo good but so not healthy.

For Valentine's Day, I made chicken fettucini alfredo, rosemary bread, salad, and fresh fruit for dinner. David gave me a game and one of those tiny pans for making a perfect egg - love it! I made him a T-shirt quilt with a bunch of his old & meaningful but getting worn out shirts. Taylor made his Daddy a Valentine with Reeses in it. He also gave us lots of sweet hugs and kisses. It was a wonderful holiday!

Here is a pic of me @ almost 27 weeks pregnant. This baby is already kicking my ribs out and the heartburn & aching back are definitely in full swing. Luckily the nausea is easing up a bit, although it's not entirely gone yet.
