Happy LOVE day!!

Today was GLORIOUS. I love Valentines day, there is something about it. I remember as a little girl getting up in the morning to find my little treats from my parents and having school parties and exchanging little valentines. I love everything about it.

Today Ottavia went to the day home. She was so excited because she new it was Valentine party day. Ottavia love's all her little friends but she has a special bond with Emily, who is Kristine's daughter. Emily is in Grade 1 so Ottavia doesn't get to see her much, but because it is teacher's convention she was there today and all Ottavia could say this morning was "emmy", "party", "treats" :) So CUTE.  So we had breakfast and off we went to Kristine's.

I had the day to gut my house from top to bottom, and get our special evening ready. It felt good to get some things done, as I let everything go this past week because of work, and Ottavia wasn't feeling well.  When I picked Ottavia up she was so excited to tell me about the day, and left with her little valentine loot bag in her hand..SO CUTE....

I had a balloon waiting for her in the car, and when she got home she opened up her little valentine gift from us, it was stickers, smartie treats, a little book to draw in, some heart kleenex, and few other things. She was delighted!!

Daddy's Valentine Bag

When daddy came home we had a giant group hug, and we he cracked a bottle of wine and started the bar b q. He gave me the sweetest card ever, it actually brought tears to my eye's. He usually buys cards that say something like....I'm just like cupid, when I fart it sends you a Love arrow hahaha..infact i think thats exactly what it said last year. Stuffed in it was a starbucks card and a new lipstick for Ottavia!

Our dinner menu :
Marinated honey garlic Rib eye steak
King Crab
Roasted Garlic baby potatoes
steamed asparagus

Dinner was so yummy, probably because I haven't put one bad thing in my body for A WEEK!! It was so much more enjoyable then siting in a restaurant.

We relaxed and put the tired baby cupid to bed!

That is when we indulged in angelfood cake, fresh strawberries and real whip cream!

This Valentine's could of not got any better. Its the simple things that mean so much. I have a genuine true love for Tino, we are real soul mates, he make's me so happy...and then we see this little girl with both our mannerism's that make us both smile and laugh! I hope your day of Love was as great as mine!
