BUT this year, he did plan ahead. And he would have surprised me too, but he couldn't stand keeping it to himself and he let the cat out of the bag. He made reservations to one of my favorite restaurants and hired a WONDERFUL babysitter (we have never hired a babysitter before). The kids were almost more excited than us....ALMOST.
Oh my goodness....I got a orange pomegranate martini and it was.....it was just...delectable.
We ordered the same thing!!! This never happens! Here is our tomato basil soup. Mmmmmmm
Oh the steak! Oh how tender and juicy and flavorful! And those mashed potatoes were better than any mashed potatoes I've had in my life...I can still taste them. And the sauteed sugar snap peas....scrumptious!
Okay, so desert, we did different things. I do love chocolate, but I ADORE bread pudding. So I got this......
And Stephen got this......
YUM! You guys shoulda been there....but that would have maybe spoiled the valentineyness.
Ooooh, so jealous! Jason didn't get any of the romanticness either. :) Glad you had fun and glad to know we aren't the only ones that haven't hired a babysitter before. ;) Fun! Fun!
ReplyDeleteYeah...I thought we were strange for not having had a babysitter before, but I guess you guys are like us in that you have plenty of family in town to watch kiddos occasionally. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you guys had fun!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't hire a babysitter for ours till about 4 years ago! We had too much fun with them and hated to leave them...now they enjoy the time away from us just as much as we do and it makes it more precious when we are together...Yeah for Stephen and how sweet for a great and wonderful Valentine's Day for the two of you!
