our love day.

For the last 4 years Matt and I have had a little tradition on Valentines Day. We don't go out to a fancy restaurant, but instead stay home, make a simple dinner, and just enjoy each others company. We decided to celebrate v-day on Fri. the 13th (hmm..didn't think about that until it was too late), so we took Yoshi to doggie day-care to tire him out and came home from work early. We always make homemade pizza and chocolate covered strawberries so we quickly started on the pizza. After dinner, we planned on making the dessert, but at 7pm (and a bottle of wine later) we quickly tired out. After both deciding we were too full for dessert and seeing the dog passed out on his bed, we just shrugged our shoulders, said "I love you" and fell asleep at...7:30pm!!! It was probably the lamest v-day we've had, but felt so good this morning after a long nights sleep. Maybe we're getting old, maybe we're just boring, who knows? But to us...it was perfect!We did make our chocolate covered strawberries today and plan to eat several tonight! Yum!

To celebrate V-day at work, Matt was involved in a sugar cookie throwdown. He went against another woman with all the employees voting on which one was the best. I'm proud to say Matt won 8 to 2! He was pretty cute the night before patiently frosting each cookie with just the right amount of sprinkles!
