Olivia opening up her goodies. Some stuff for her Bitty Baby she had been wanting.
Denny and I had promised each other no gifts! We are trying to cut back and save our money! So when he and Liv brought out a box for me, I felt horrible I had stuck to our word and not gotten him a thing! Denny and Olivia (and Jack too) had gotten me some coffee mugs from Michael's that they had decorated. They were so cute! Here is one of Denny's masterpieces...Bee my Valentine! :) It's an inside joke for us, so I loved it!
And here is one of Olivia's. This is a picture of her and Jack! She was disappointed there were only 4 markers that came with the mugs to do the drawing. So she had to have black hair! :)
I don't think I could have imagined a better gift! I love the time and thought that was put into it by both Denny and Liv! They were perfect! 
And another close-up... I just can't resist his sweet face!
Olivia playing with a balloon her grandma had brought ove earlier in the week. And her most cherished possession of the weekend, Sleeping Beauty. Mimi sent her $5 in her Valentine and of course, it just burnt a hole in her pocket until she could go and spend it at Target! This is what she came home with! Of course, we have already lost a shoe, those things are ridiculously small! I'm sure it's found a nice home in the vacuum cleaner bag!
Another fun balloon, a punching balloon. This was in a Valentine from someone at school.
And we have all had a blast playing with it!
The best part of my Valentine's Day was a dinner prepared and cooked by Denny! I got to select the menu and then he did all the work, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, and all! 
While I was putting the kids down Denny was busy cooking. And when I came downstairs I saw this laying on the counter!
If you look closely you can see reminants of the butter on the measuring spoon! The recipe called for 2 tablespoons of butter, so he measured it out! Poor guy! It was so funny and so cute! I had to take a pic so I could look back one day and remember how hard I laughed!
Denny made us a spring salad (he even caramelized the almonds!), baked potatoes, and a YUMMY tenderloin fillet with gorganzola cream sauce! I have to say it was one of the BEST steaks I have ever had!
And it was one of the best Valentine's Days I have ever had as well!!!! Thank you to my sweet hubby for making it so very special from beginning to end!

My little stud muffin! In his highchair yet again! I guess his highchair has replaced the infant carrier as my place to take his picture! :)

Way to go Denny! Looks like he did VERY well! :-) I loved the butter and the measuring spoon!!!
Okay, I love this whole post. First of all, the mugs are such an adroable idea. That is so creative and such a timeless gift!
Then, the pics of Jack are too cute. He is growing by leaps and bounds. I love his cheeks!
Also, I am impressed with Denny's dinner. And the butter measuring is awesome. He put a lot of thought into the whole thing. Yeah Denny!
Whoa....was this Christmas or Valentine's Day? I guess we need to take notes from the Graneys. I am glad you all had a special day.
