Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays, but with being super pregnant AND having the stomach flu that week lets just say I'm looking forward to celebrating the holiday next year. Luckily no one was sick on the actual holiday so we still celebrated with our annual special family dinner and small gifts for the boys.
That morning the boys and I made raspberry ebelskievers for breakfast. We even had little bowls, filled with syrup, for dipping. We brought breakfast in bed to daddy since he had been up late with work the night before.
I really wanted to make a special dessert for dinner that night, but our kitchen looked like a bomb went off in it after a couple days of not being cleaned. I did dishes, more dishes, swept and even mopped. After all that I was wiped and tiredly looking at my cake recipes when there was a knock at the door. My sweet visiting teacher was there with decorated valentine's cupcakes. I believe the spirit prompted her to save me from making a mess in my freshly cleaned kitchen :)
It was a fun night. The boys got little cars and watercolors as gifts. We've had fun painting during the cold afternoons when we can't go outside and play!
Happy Valentine's Day!
