The fanciest dinner we've ever had.




Valentines Day takes on a new meaning when children are involved. Out the window goes 5 star restaurants and date nights that last til whenever the heck you feel like rolling in, and in goes fast food restaurant meals to go, and maybe a movie, but only if its in Tooele, and after the kids have gone to bed so I can feed and bathe them and get them to bed so its less stressful for whichever grandparent we guiltily call and meekly ask "could you come over for a few hours so we can go see one of those newfangled moving picture shows that are so popular with the kid folk these days?". You get the idea.

So this year I was glad that Valentines was on a Sunday-took a lot of the pressure off to have to go out somewhere nice and having to get a babysitter and the whole bit. Instead we had THE fanciest meal we've ever had. Kell made the girls and I a gourmet meal of BBQ pork tenderloin, roasted potatoes, sauteed zucchini, crecent rolls and strawberry shortcake for dessert. It was amazing! But better yet, as he was preparing dinner the girls and I got fancy. Dress up clothes, jewlery, high heeled shoes, tiaras, make-up and fingernail polish. We were the fanciest crew you've ever seen! Here are a few pics to prove it! Better yet, Kell is surprising me with a weekend getaway-can't wait to find out where we are going!! Hope everyone felt love this Valentines Day!
