My Valentines Day in a Nutshell
Cole started off the day by scoring some cookies from his friend Preston. He was supposed to share with us, but immediately took each cookie out one-by-one and took a bite. For a video, click here.

Cole and I made some homemade decor to surprise Danny when he got home from work. I let Cole be in charge of where to put the stickers on the hearts, even though it was driving me secretly crazy that he wasn't doing it in an organized fashion--and very A symmetrically. I know...I know.
A few weeks ago, I lost my mp3 player, and I've been borrowing Danny's. He SHOCKED me with this iPod shuffle. The crazy thing, is that we never do big things like this for holidays. He had been saving up gift cards that he'd been given (For who knows how long) and used them all on me! What a guy...I am so lucky!


We spent the evening at a very fine dining restaurant. Can't you just tell by the fries that this was high quality? We misunderstood our double dates, and didn't get a babysitter! Blast.




Our dates had a really good time. We are a lot of fun to double with. I think we'll have to pay them next time we want to go do anything...

By the time this picture was taken, Cole was screaming and wanted to go home. Awesome. It was incredibly romantic.

Ironically enough--I also won $25 from insideredbox.com (a website I subscribe to for promo codes that we use at Red Boxes...) I never win anything, so this was a big deal to me, but I wanted Danny to be able to download some cool songs--and I got him a GC with my winnings. Great minds think a like. Neither of us expected anything, so it was a fun surprise for both of us!

Cole's 2nd Valentine gift showed up, and he thanked Lily by rubbing chapstick on her forehead.

We talked Amy into "getting into character". I mean--we were at a truckstop-like diner. Why not act the part? She got so carried away...she had to cool off with a swig of ketchup.

They're really good at faking it though, huh? I was impressed.
