Happy L-O-V-E Day!

I woke up on Valentines Day with my two babies to find this on the kitchen counter. Cameron had already left for work.

Most nights I fall asleep while putting the kids to sleep. I then wake up 1 or 2 hours later to finish whatever needs to be done like putting food away or putting on the kid's pajamas. I usually find Cameron on the computer and make it a point tell him to "go to sleep already" before I head back into the room. Cam knew this so on Valentines Eve, he waited for me to wake up one last time before he set up my V-day surprise. Sneaky Cam :).

Daddy was soooo kind to get Na'u a little (BIG) chocolate bar too. Can you tell that she was SUPER excited?


This is what her message was. I thought it was so cute.
My pediatrition advises no nuts til age 3 because so many people are allergic. We've been telling and practically drilling into her (since she's been eating regular food) that she can't eat nuts. She has sneaked a few candies with nuts here and there. We know she isn't allergic so my doc says that its ok to eat it but it's too late. She doesn't like them because of us. Now she spits them out and says, "No nuts!"
Our bad.

Day after valentines, we ate dinner at a Korean Yakiniku Restaurant with our friends Aho and Gabby.

Among the meats on the grill was tongue....cow tongue. I wasn't going to try it but did. It tasted like regular beef. Plus too, it blended in on the "cooked" meat plate and we were all just grabbing and eating.

Thanks for the date night!

Having kids definitely makes things a little bit more complicated. I wanted to make a pretty cake for Cam and some chocolate dipped strawberries but that didn't happen the day of.

On Valentines Day, I baked the cake and frosted it but ran out of frosting to finish decorating it. By the time Cameron came home from work, he had a lovely white plain cake. I didn't get to finish it that day but I DID finish.

I'm taking a cake decorating class and I thought it was fitting to show off some of the things that I learned. I like the flowers the best.


I just got around to doing the strawberries. I had planned to get the strawberries on Valentines Eve but that didn't happen. Both my kiddies were tired and crying. There are just some things in life that have to wait :). Today is Friday and I surprised Cam when he got home from work. I guess you can look at it as celebrating Valentines Day the WHOLE week.

I tried to do the bow tie version.

They were ALL so yummy!
Happy Valentines Day babe! Can you believe that this was our 8th Valentines together? I LOVE you MORE everyday! Can't imagine my life without you.

Valentines Day is also my mom's birthday and Cameron's grandpa's birthday. Happy Birthday! We LOVE you!
