Happy Valentines Day!


With the help of pinterest, I went a little crazy this Valentines day. There are so many creative, fun things out there in the internet world, I just couldn't stop. It helps when I have a super sweet man to love.

We celebrated partially on Saturday because we knew we wouldn't have a ton of time during the week. I made some delicious red velvet pancakes for breakfast that pretty much tasted like cupcakes. Ben made a fabulous dinner of steak with a peppercorn sauce with a side of greek style zucchini salad. Yes, I have a man that can seriously cook. For dessert, he made chocolate pots de creme that were OUT OF THIS WORLD. ok, wipe the drool off your keyboard. Moving on.

On actual valentines day morning, I gave him this cute craft from Colter,


and this personalized candy bar


During the day, I put up this on the garage door which was super fun

here are the pictures up close:


and put out some personalized Jones soda.

Ben came home with this incredible bouquet of flowers


and gave me a special homemade card (he found the idea off pinterest- i'm so proud of him!)


What would valentines day be without a berry monster??


After dinner we did an at home date using bananagrams letters to spell out different words that relate to our relationship (memories, places we've traveled, etc.) It was a ton of fun to see what we each came up with.



It was such a special day full of love!!
