Happy Valentine's Day

We had a wonderful, busy Valentine's Day. I had to work, so that made our day a little busy. When I finished work, I went to pick up Sophie and she was still taking a nap, so I came home and made Honeymoon Mousse. By the time I finished making the mousse Sophie had woken up from her nap, so I went back to Shannon's to pick up Sophie. We came home and I made sausage manicotti for dinner. I really wanted to go to Target to get something else for Jon, but there just wasn't enough time. I decided that it was more important to get dinner ready. We've only gone out to dinner on Valentine's Day once since we've been married and the one time we went out, we had to wait in line for two hours, because the restaurant didn't take reservations. I prefer having a quiet dinner at home anyway. Once Sophie went to bed, Jon and I relaxed on the couch and watched Maid in Manhattan. We hope all of you had a wonderful Valentine's Day too.

I made this sign and intended on emailing it to the grandparents, but having to work and being so busy when I came home from work, I never got the chance to email it. Grandma and Grandpa, we hope you had a wonderful Valentine's. Here is your Valentine from Sophie.
Grandma Reed gave Sophie this cute Valentine shirt. I wanted to get some pictures of her in her Valentine shirt, but she didn't want to cooperate. The first two pictures I took she had her eyes closed, but I thought this picture was so cute.

As I said, she didn't want to cooperate and smile for me, so here's another funny picture of my cute Valentine.

My two favorite Valentines. We bought Sophie a balloon and some balls for her Valentine gift. She needed something fun to play with.

Our fancy dinner setting. We had sparkling cider, the other cup has the mousse in it and Rita made heart shaped eclairs for us. I gave Rita and her family some of the mousse since it made more than we needed to eat. The eclairs were amazing!

Jon surprised me with these beautiful tulips and the BBC movie Little Dorrit. When I came home from work, I found the flowers and movie sitting on the kitchen counter. Jon told me that Sophie decided that she wanted to get me something, so they bought me flowers. I love tulips, so they were the perfect gift. Jon also gave me the BBC movie Bleak House both movies are originally books by Charles Dickens. I highly recommend the movies if you like old English movies. I gave Jon a game that he ordered for himself, Forbidden Island, and I bought him another card expansion to Killer Bunnies, the Chocolate Bunny set and his favorite heart shaped Reese's Peanut Butter cups.
