Valentines week consisted mostly of me being really sick but I started feeling significantly better on Friday, thank goodness. I was hoping to have fun things all week long but we did manage to have heart shaped meatloaf, pink rice crispy treats in the shape of hershey kisses, and frosted heart shaped sugar cookies to celebrate the approaching holiday (not all at the same time... hahaa).
After Matt worked 8 hours for 'free' on Saturday (UGH. that is another story...) we had a great day together! Matt brought home roses for me (although we had agreed to forgo flowers.... stinker) and we worked together and made ourselves a gourmet meal which included steak, lobster, baked potato, and salad! (We needed a bigger plate). It was my first time ever cooking lobster... our house smelled like fish for a day, but it went well otherwise.

Afterwards, Ellie was fabulous and watched Mason for us so we could go out on a date. If you don't recall, I planned our Valentines last year and ended up with the most expensive dinner of our lives, so this year was Matt's turn.

He surprised me and took us ice skating - outdoors! There is a cute little ice rink in Midway that is under the stars and it was a blast to be out having fun together. Once we were cold & sore we headed to Zermatt to their fabulous Backerei & Eis where all dreams can come true (haha). Seriously, so good. Mmmmm. We stuffed ourselves with european pastry and then headed home for the night. We hope you had a great weekend too!

Wow, your day was so much more exciting than mine! The morning I spent with the Relief Society and the afternoon I spent cooking for a family in the ward. By the time night rolled around, I was dead tired. I think I watched a movie. Well, at least it was about love, just not between me and my husband, lol.
Your food looks delish! I'm very impressed. I'm also missing the passion fruit dessert. mmmmm.
I am so glad you felt better and made just in time for V-day. Sounds like Matt (and Ellie for watching Mason) did a good job making your guys' day memorable. We miss you guys alot!
