Valentine's Day

We started off V-day with my mom's fun package. The girls loved it and loved the fun Valentin's Day clothes they got. They could not wait to put them on...we also got some cards from Kurt's parents for each one of the girls! They loved the dollar it came with and the doggies on the front!
Kurt and I went and celebrated Valentine's Day on Saturday. We went to a "non-chain" restaurant that Kurt had heard of from a friend. It is called Gabrielle's and is suppose to be one of the top in Denver. I was very impressed, since that is so not Kurt's style. It was fun to try something new and the food was really good too and not all that expensive. I am sure the waitress was very disappointed when I told her we would not be drinking any wine! After we went and saw Just Go With It. We thought is was pretty funny. I was in shock though as I saw some people coming in with their kids that looked about Annie's age....really?!!
On Sunday night I was up pretty late getting the girls Valentine's ready and also candy bar bouquets for Kurt to deliver to dental offices. I thought they all turned out really well. I got Kurt P90X for V-day. He has been talking about it forever and as an addition to that, I told him I would do it with him. I may even take before and after pics. He got me and the girls a certificate for manicures. Then that night I told him I was a little sad I didn't get flowers from him and he started chuckling. He told me he was going to, but couldn't buy them on Sunday and when he went to the store Monday the roses all looked pretty nasty and would have only lasted like a day. So, he took that money and got me two gift cards to go out to lunch....I LOVED it!! I really like to go out for lunch and now I won't have to feel so guilty!!
That night I did a heartish dinner and decorated the table...it turned out pretty cute. All the girls had parties at school and got way too much candy...they loved their valentines. They all decided to make their own this year for their friends and it totally reminded me of when I grew up and we all made our own. They had a fun time doing it....We got some cute Valentine's notes from the girls. Madelyn's was to me and said, I love my mommy because she gives me candy after lunch! Good to know I'm good for something, I guess..
Alyse is just learning how to write on her own and wrote us note.....my mom is love uen (loving) love alyse - dad you ur (are) the bue (best) dad. She was so proud of herself, but told me she didn't have time to finish it. She also came home with a heart shaped paper that said, I love mom. I love dad. I love Annie. But I love unicorns most of all.
For the past couple of weeks she has been overly obsessed with pink unicorns. It is the craziest thing. I happened upon one at the grocery store and got it for her for Valentine's Day. She loves it. She also likes pink again, which was her least favorite color for a few months now.
Annie wrote each of us really nice notes
Kurts - Dear Dad, You're the best Dad I've ever had. I love you as my soccer coach. I love you because you take care of me when I'm hurt. I love you so much. Love, Annie
Mine - Dear Mom, I think you're special to me because you drive me to school. I think the best thing is that you go on mommy daughter dates with me. I think you're the best in the world. Love, Annie
It's nice to feel loves, since I normally get a lot of No's and yelling at me :)

Your girls are so cute. When ever I see pics of them it makes me want all girls. That first picture of Annie looks just like you. Kendell is just so precious. I have been thinking about getting P90X. You will have to let me know how you like it. What a fun V-day!
