A belated Valentine

I promised Kristen we would celebrate Valentine's Day when I got home from England, she was rather sad when she realized I wouldn't be home for that day. We have a little tradition where I make something yummy for dinner and then make fondue for afterwards (we really only started it last year, but it's something I'd like to do for a long time to come). So yesterday was the day!

Last year I made heart-shaped meatballs with spaghetti and then did chocolate fondue. I asked Kristen what we should do this year and she had the wonderful idea of making heart-shaped pizzas with heart-shaped pepperoni :-) So we did just that. . . . . first I set the table just a little (we didn't need cutlery for pizza!)

then we used some Pilsbury pizza dough to make our heart shapes (sort of) and covered them with sauce, cheese and pepperoni. . . .

and here's one fresh out of the oven. . . .


Kristen wanted to get even more creative, so she made this pizza to look like a 'wolf'! The funny thing was, when he came out of the oven she didn't want to eat him because he was her 'friend', so she had some of the other pizza (he's actually still in the fridge and I'm trying to talk her in to having him for supper or he'll just end up in the trash!)

Flowers for Grandma (my mom-in-law came over to celebrate with us) . . .

and I was spoiled by hubby with this beautiful heart necklace. . . .

of course you want to see a close up -

One thing I hadn't had a chance to mention on here.... the very first night I got home from England Kristen surprised me with her own valentine present. . . . 'Winnie the Pooh earrings'!

Aren't they the cutest thing... and you know where she got them? Ebay! She went searching on there one night looking for 'pooh' stuff because she knows how much I like him. She saw these and told me "they were only 99c, so I asked Daddy to help me bid on them and I WON" :-) I just love them

We had Mimosas and then finished the night off with our favorite.... fondue.

It was a lovely afternoon and evening. Oh, and Kristen's treat... a new little puppy and the CD from Alvin and the Chipmunks 'The Squeakqual' which she was thrilled with!

and finally a pic of my 'cute boys' :-)
