a shoe box and a menu

When I was little I would get so excited for Valentine's Day.
I'd decorate a shoe box, take it to school and proudly display it on my desk.
As my shoe box filled with valentine's from my classmates, I'd be so happy.
Happy that I got lots of valentine's & happy that several of them were accompanied by candy.
Fast forward to this year...
This year I filled my shoe box with my favorite Valentine to date -- baby Trace!


This was our 3rd Valentine's Day in our house.
Bryan has made it an annual tradition to create a homemade menu and make us dinner.
While I rocked Trace to sleep that night, Bryan set the table and got to cooking.
At the center of our delicious meal was the puzzle that we worked on while snowed in that week.
A romantic meal at home while the babe slept upstairs... it was the perfect evening!
