Valentine's Day!

I was so surprised by my amazing husband this Valentine's Day! We babysat Tara and Jeff's kids the first part of the evening so they could go out, and then they came home and watched Lilyana so Joel and I could go out! It was such a great plan! Tara and I had no idea this was going on. The boys came up with the "plan" a couple weeks before v-day. Joel and I had a wonderful date. We went out to dinner at the Olive Garden. It was so nice getting to spend time together. When we came home Joel and Jeff had Tara and I go upstairs so they could get another surprise ready! 45 minutes later they came up to get us. We came down to find the fireplace going, tea light candles lit all around the room and the chocolate fountain flowing with all kinds of yummy things to dip in it! They worked so hard, and I was so impressed that Joel knew how to slice up a pineapple! It was such a great night. Joel also surprised me with my favorite flowers (cala lilies and irises) and they were absolutely beautiful! He also got me my very own assortment of dark chocolate almonds and dark chocolate caramels (also my favorites!) I am blessed with the most amazing and thoughtful and sweet husband ever! I love him!
