My parents came to visit over Valentine's weekend. And I LOVE having them so close. They took us out to a delicious Korean BBQ place. We made Valentine's bags together. Matt and I went on a long run together while they watched the kids. We all went to the Harry Potter exhibit at the Pacific Science Center (Which was AWESOME). They babysat so we could go on a Valentine's date. We ate some more tasty food, opened Valentine's bags, did puzzles, played games, watched a movie, went for walks. After so many years of having them far away, it's been fun that they can just drive over for a few days. LOVE IT.
This year we decided to keep Valentine's Day simple. Lucky for us, some friends had planned a really fun Sweetheart Dinner Dance. They held it at the church and we had a tasty lasagna dinner, played the newlywed game, devoured chocolate from a fountain, and then danced. It sort of took us back to Stake Youth Dances, for good or bad. I had a lot of fun dancing with friends - I hadn't done the robot, running man, or sprinkler for quite some time. Matt's super fly pink shirt with red tie and his plastic goblet stacking certainly made up for our lack of true dance skill. He rocks. And I love him.
And on the REAL day of love, Matt surprised me with roses. The kids and I surprised him with a roasted duck (bought . . . I did NOT prepare this from scratch) and a lucky love mobile. All the lucky red envelopes had notes about why we love him (I know. Lucky $ would have been better here, but we're trying to save for our Disney trip in May. So notes of love will have to do. And . . . could I have taken a worse picture? I don't think so.)
Hope your Valentine's weekend was equally sweet (Of course I know it was, because you blogged about it weeks ago).

I miss this boy (my son), too! I was with you for Valentines last year. Hugs, Kisses and lots of love from this to far away Grandma.
Hugs to you too Grandma! Wish you were closer so we could go to the zoo together every week! We don't need a weekly repeat to the gum wall though. :)
Who is the handsome man dancing? He seems to have some outrageous moves. It was a good Valentines day! Sure do love ya.
