Too Sweet

Baylen went out of his way this year to do something sweet for me for Valentines Day. He started planning a month ago and kept it a secret clear up until 1/2 hour before we were supposed to be to the restaurant. He planned with all my brother-in-laws and dad to take all us girls to The Roof. Baylen actually took me to this restaurant for our 5th year anniversary so I thought I'd used up my once in a lifetime there (it is a VERY expensive restaurant). However, I'm not complaining. The food is beyond incredible, and the view is beautiful.
The fact that we got to go with lots of my favorite people made it even more of a special day! None of my pictures of the whole group worked so I'll have to steal one from someone else and post it later.
We loved all the food but especially the creme brulee! Here's the evidence of how many we ate... I think the waitress actually took some of the bowls away before this pic!

It was an amazing night. Baylen has set the bar high for next year (smile)!

Baylen and I usually try to do our celebrating of Valentines Day on a day other than the real holiday so that we can spend Valentines Day with our kids. A few of our traditions include heart shaped pancakes for breakfast and a candle light salmon dinner later that evening.
When we lit the candles for dinner tonight, Ashlyn decided to serinade us with her rendition of Happy Birthday to you. It was really cute!

One new thing I decided to try this year was to make my own fortune cookies. They definitely weren't the prettiest looking cookies (not picture worthy) but they tasted really GOOD! I think I need to practice a little more before next year if I want to make this a tradition!
