First Valentines

Not only was this Grace's first Valentines Day, but it pretty much is the first time Deryk and I actually celebrated it together. Lat Year I was doing the morning sickness thing and I was in class until 8:30, so we didn't do anything, and the year before that we were still in the, "we're friends, but are we more than that?" stage, so needless to say we didn't do anything for eachother then either.
So, as our first real Valentines toghether, I decided we should celebrate it. So here's the rundown of our Valentines day
We went to see "He's just not that into you" (FOR FREE! can't get much better than that)
Then Deryk took Gracie out while I fixed a surprise dinner complete with candles!
The menu:
Appetizers: Stuffed Mushrooms (It was my first time making them, they turned out pretty good)
Pre-entre: Salad
Entre: Chicken enchiladas and garlic bread
Desert (my favorite part of the meal): Chocolate dipped strawberries and red grape sparkling cider--so Yummy!
And yes, Grace ate with us too--Her cuisine: Pureed Pease! Her Favorite!
It was a nice V-day. Probably the best I've ever had! Nothing beats having the people you love most with you all day!
Here's some pics of our little Gracie playing with her Valentine's gift from her grandma and Grandpa Barrett

What a delightful day! I'm glad you had such a good time. And the next time you say you aren't a good cook, I'm going to remind you of that yummy menu. You have such a sweet family. Love you!
