This year's Valentine's started off on friday by Buck sending this gorgeous flower arrangment to my work for me. We both had to work Friday this year, which was a bummer because I try to make Valentines a three day weekend extravaganza :) Saturday was our traditional date of going to Chuck-a-Rama to eat, and then we saw the movie, True Grit in the theater. I way liked it, and you can totally tell that I'm pregnant because I bawled in the end when Little Blackie dies. Like, sobbed. I was a mess. I still really liked the movie though :)
Sunday was the most fun and exciting day! I got us fresh, cooked, whole Lobsters to eat, and we had a candle-lit dinner with our champagne flutes and cider, and very good tasting fresh lobster on our camping table because we still do not have a full kitchen yet. It was such a hit! Buck had no idea what I was doing and I made him sit in our bedroom so I could prepare everything without him seeing it. He seriously loved it, and I loved that everything worked out and wasn't a flop. (Referring to Valentine's breakfast 2009. Total flop, if you remember reading about it)
I was so pleased with how everything turned out, and tasted!
It looks like the lobster is attacking his face
I LOVED the little plastic champagne flutes. And Buck loved his new camo shirt he got :)
Nom, nom, nom...everything was so good.
Even my cake turned out this year! I didn't have a heart shaped pan, so I just baked it in a regular 9x13 pan and then just cut out the size of heart that I wanted and decorated it with frosting, sixlets, and chocolate covered strawberries that I did in fact dip myself, because they were such a big hit last year. I'm thinking they just became a Valentine's tradition as well.
Buck loved everything, and it was so much fun for us. I seriously love Valentine's Day, everything about it! I love being lovey and cheesey, and using all of the cheesey stuff, like the decorations and the red and pink, everything. Buck is becoming a huge fan very quickly, and he was never really into Valentine's. I look forward to it every year and I start planning immediately afterwards for what I'm gonna do for the next year!
