V-day 2011

Disclaimer: If you hate v-day don't read this post, haha

This is Jared's and my 5th Valentines together and so I wanted to make it a little extra special.

So I made pink french toast with raspberries and pink hot chocolate for breakfast.  I was pretty excited about the pink hot chocolate... that is, until I tasted it.  So gross!!!  I think the people that came up with it sai, "who cares if it tastes bad?  Those suckers will buy it anyway because it's pink"  I guess I'm a sucker.

Jared brought some rubios (yum!) back to the office and we had lunch together.

Then when I got home I cut a trillion little red and white hearts out and scattered them with rose petals everywhere.  I'm pretty proud of myself.

Jared brought me some BEAUTIFUL flowers and a tender card home.  The card is the part I love about v-day.  Jared's not the mushy type and my bday and valentines are the only times I get a little love note.

Then I rocked it with a (if I do say so myself) phenominal dinner.

First course was shrimp cocktail

Second course was ribeye steaks with baby potatoes and asparagus.

and Dessert?

Remember that lava cake recipe I found?

It was DIVINE.

Jared says it's probably the best dessert he's ever had.  It was super easy to make and delicious!!!  It was the perfect ending to my amazing dinner (am I tooting my own horn enough?) hehe and I love the bowls I baked it in.  I got them at Michaels for 49 cents a piece.  :)  Score!

Oh yeah... and Jared loved his 'lottery tickets'

Overall...

V-day 2011 = total success
