This Valentines day was definately different having a baby, but it was so much fun. We got to spend the whole day together as a family. We woke up to a very happy vocal baby this morning, who was giving us all sorts of smiles. We all got ready and headed out for a little grocery shopping, then came home for lunch and to put L down for an afternoon nap. She slept for a couple hours while Dad and Mom watched uncle S at Rootstech via skype. We also were able to get a little snooze in while L was asleep. We then played with her a little bit and started dinner. I love Valentines day and making it cute and special. Our first year of marriage I did a picnic in the living room and that has remained a tradition, to eat dinner on a blanket on the living room floor. I planned a meal that I know is my mans favorite and went to work while he babysat. We had Meatloaf, garlic potatoes and corn. I also thought it would be fun to get some sparkling cider and make a big heart shaped cookie. L was so good while we ate and we tried to keep her awake for as long as we could so we could give her a bath, feed her and then putting her to bed would be a piece of cake. This was a great plan and she was so tired that we had her to bed by 7:45.
Happy Valentines Day all
My two Valentines
Looks like we had brownies for dinner but thats the meatloaf. We also ate on new plates that we got for our wedding but have saved until now.
L being good and talking to us while we ate
I had found a recipe that is cookie dough for two so it makes just enough to like 4 cookies
