Valentine's Day!

We had a quiet evening at home for our Valentine's day celebration.  I wasn't interested in going out.   The days leading up to Valentine's day featured busy stores.  Since it was a Friday I knew restaurants would be slammed.  I told Brad about ten days prior to Cupid's day, I likely just wanted to order in pizza and relax at home.  Brad will take me out to dinner any night of the week so making my husband take me out on crowded Valentine's day is not mandatory for me.

As is tradition I made Brad a special Valentine's treat.  I made him a snack mix, featuring Chex cereal, white chocolate, powdered sugar and peanut butter.  Simon taught me a long time ago, everything is better with peanut butter! 

I was super happy with my Valentine's day gift from Brad, I'm the proud new owner of a pair of pink sapphire earrings.  Yes folks, Brad did good!  Two thumbs up!  As I type this he is trying out one of his gifts....a new Xbox One game.  I got him "gamed up".  The second game I got him I pre-ordered, it'll arrive in the mail as soon as it's released, something for him to look forward to.

We kicked back, munched on pizza, and watched the Olympics as well as some of the NBA All-Star weekend kick-off.  We had some champagne with chocolate covered strawberries I made too.  Simon was wondering why he didn't get any champagne but we limit his consumption to one day a year:  New Year's. 

It was the quiet evening we wanted!  It was special without being over the top.  No need for over the top! Hopefully, everyone reading this had a good Valentine's day too!
