First we had heart shaped pancakes for breakfast.
For lunch we had heart shaped grilled cheese and some heart shaped cookies for dessert.
At dinner time, I made an old recipe Brad and enjoyed a lot before we had kids. The vegetables unfortunately didn't turn out so well and I never got around to making any of the valentines day desserts I had hoped to make, but there were leftover cookies from lunch and jello with cool whip left over from our Fun with Friends gathering the day before.
There were also presents. I gave the boys a new toy car each and some playdoh for Ryan. There were also some Mickey Mouse and My Friends Tigger and Pooh removable wall stickers for their bedrooms.
We gave Brad a new woodworking magazine and the new Nickelback cd.
Brad gave me a gift certificate to have a facial, manicure and pedicure. I can't wait for the chance to use it!
When I am teaching, Valentines Day is usually spent in Edmonton at teacher's convention (unless it falls on a Monday or Tuesday). Last year I made dinner (a rosemary and thyme chicken with roasted garlic baby potatoes and carrots and atossed salad with an olive garden like dressing) and dessert (chocolate covered strawberries) and grandma came to stay with Ryan so we could go see a movie (music and lyrics). This year, grandma is in Edmonton at work related meetings. Brad is sick (he was supposed to leave work this afternoon once everyone else arrived and go to emergency since his cough and chest congestion kept him up all night), my leg is still sore and Ryan is being a really grumpy bear.
