Happy Valentine's Day

I wanted to have a special Valentine's Day not just for Nate and I but for the whole family. I planned a special dinner and bought everybody a special treat. Unfortunately being the wonderful daughter I am, I totally forgot to give my Mom her gift until the next day, and I never took any pictures.
Caitlyn didn't need anything special except her sister's Valentine boxes. She was really wishing we'd let her get them.

A very happy Allison.
Allie had dance from 6:15-7:15 which meant we had to take her and then go pick her up while trying to prepare a special dinner. I am really glad Mom was there and that Nate got home a little earlier than planned. Dinner ended up taking more time than I had allowed between driving, feeding the baby, rocking the baby, etc. It was a new recipe, but the chicken cordon bleu was delicious. Trying to keep it in the Valentine spirit. I went a little crazy and colored the mustard sauce and even the mashed potatoes pink. We also had pink heart jello and pink lemonade. It was fun, but I don't think we'll be dyeing our potatoes again. It was too weird.

Dinner wouldn't have been quite so busy if we weren't also trying to make dessert. Of course we had to do gluten and gluten free. It made it hectic, but our individual molten cakes were yummy. They were a big hit all around.

After dinner and dessert, I had to get pictures of my three little Valentine's-playing with their stuffed animals.

Each girl got a heart basket with some chocolate and a few small items. It was simple, but they loved them.

Happy girl

Nate bought us girls each a flower.

Nate got chocolate and game.

I love my family so much! I feel so lucky to have all of them in my life. I can't imagine where I would be without them. Happy Valentine's Day!!!
