I had such a fun Valentines Weekend. I love having Valentines Day on a Saturday! I did something for JR and the kids on Friday as a surprise, and JR got to take charge of Valentines Day on Saturday. So everyone was happy :). I decided to have a surprise dinner for my family on Friday night. Cali helped me get things ready and she did SUCH a good job of keeping things a secret from JR. I decided to let JR and the kids have their favorite foods for dinner. Cali had a McDonald's Happy Meal, Isaac had pizza, and JR got sushi. He was SO excited that I got him sushi. It's his most favorite food ever. Usually when I plan a candlelight dinner I just want it to be JR and I. But this year I thought it would be a lot of fun to involve the kids too. They loved it! I think I'll do more things like this as a family from now on :).
JR came home from work early, so I made him stay upstairs while I finished getting everything ready. I really REALLY wanted everything to be a surprise. Luckily JR was really cooperative and didn't peak :). He didn't have a clue :).
Everyone seemed pretty happy about the food :).
JR showing off his lovely sushi. I had a little bit. I just wish I enjoyed it more! But I'm glad JR liked it.
Of course Isaac loved his pizza :). It was even leftovers, but he didn't care.
Cali and her happy meal. She was such a big helper and really enjoyed the fun dinner.
Isaac apparently was still hungry after dinner, so he decided to steal Cali's fries.
Complete with ranch dip. What a little stinker :).
The table after dinner. Luckily there wasn't much to clean up :).
And I had to throw this pic in because it's just cute. Love that kid!
After our fun dinner we put the kids to bed and enjoyed a movie. It was great :). For Saturday JR got his family to watch the kids and we did some shopping. It was nice shopping for clothes without the kids :). For dinner we ate at Applebee's, which was super yummy. We had a great time together, I got an awesome skirt, and the kids had a blast with the Petersons. So all in all it was a perfect day! Happy Valentines everyone! Hope yours was just as fabulous!

What a cute idea for a family dinner! It's fun things like this that kids remember!
How fun holidays are always memorable when you spend them with the whole family! How cute to do each person their own special dinner! That sushi looks so yummy!
What a fun night! I just can't get over how adorable your little kids are, I just want to squeeze Isaac's cheeks his dimples are sooo cute! And Cali is getting so big. I haven't seen you guys forever!
How cute! You are making me look REALLY bad! You're so creative. I'm interested though . . . what did YOU have for dinner?
How fun!! Did you eat the same thing as one of your family or did you get your own favorite dish?
Well, initially I was planning on sharing the sushi with JR. However, since I'm not a HUGE fan of sushi and it really didn't sound great to me in the moment, I just picked up a sandwich from McDonalds when I got Cali's happy meal. It wasn't my favorite, but it all worked out great :). Plus JR didn't have a problem eating all the sushi :).
That did sound like fun! Its a good thing that A.J. is a cute kid too otherwise I would be jealous of my super cute neice and nephew. See you guys next week.
What a fun idea! But you left out what YOU had for dinner!!!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! You no only surprised me with sushi, you were simply wonderful in your thoughtfulness and kindness. I felt so loved. I just hope that our little shopping date on Saturday was enough to at least keep me out of the doghouse...
I love you! Happy 8 years of engagement (officially). :)
What a fun night!!!
So some time we really do need to get together. I miss you. I only have poor excuses. Sounds like you had a wonderful, creative night. I am always excited when I do a post because I know that you will respond with something cute to say.

Hey: Just wanted to tell you the location where the pics are of Angel's brother was at the Rock Ampitheater up the road from Seven Peaks in Provo. That is also the location where I proposed almost two years ago. Sigh. Thanks again for the great birthday stuff!
What a cute mommy you are!!
