Happy Valentines Day!!

Even though Kyle and I aren't over-the-top Valentines Day people, we still like to create some fun for Carter and use it as an excuse to make an extra delicious dinner at home :) My parents stopped by yesterday to drop drop off a V-Day gift for Carter, and then he received a visit and gift from Dave and Dorothy this morning -- lucky kid!!

The day was fairly low-key, mostly spent watching the Olympics, reading Carter's new books, eating the VDay cookie-lollipops that I made, and then early to bed for Carter (too much sugar from the cookies meant no nap this afternoon).

After Carter went to bed, Kyle and I enjoyed a delicious homemade meal and then were early to bed, too.

In my opinion, nothing beats a Valentines Day spent at home with loved ones! Here's to hoping all of you were surrounded by loved ones today, too!

Just because we don't "celebrate" VDay, doesn't mean we can't dress for it :)

Our homemade VDay dinner: Seared Sea Scallops, Shrimp Scampi over Fettuccine and Roasted Asparagus -- delicious!!
