Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! We had a fun day here. Yesterday, Nate and Caleb decorated heart cut-out cookies. Today we did everything in hearts! I made grilled cheese in a heart shape for lunch. For supper I made lasagna with a heart in the middle and heart shaped rolls. (I got those ideas from Taste of Home.)

I was thinking today how my perspective on Valentine's Day has changed. When I was younger and single I was all about the romantic side of V-day. Don't get me wrong, I still like the flowers and romantic gestures! However, now I tend to think of V-day in relation to our family. I was telling Caleb we celebrate V-day so we can show people how much we love them. So I find myself thinking of ways to have fun with them and show how much I love them.

I'm super excited about tomorrow. Nate and I are having our first night away since Isaac was born. My parents are going to spend the night with the boys. I'm really looking forward to having a night of sleep without interruptions!

Cool meal ideas! I love the lasagna with the heart in the middle.

Yeah for the night away! I have a feeling you'll still wake up in the night...and probably be up early in the morning! :) The real pleasure will come in being able to roll over and go back to sleep. :) I hope you're able to sleep in really late!
