not quite as we planned

Tonight didn't turn out quite as we had thought. We had planned on going out to dinner at a new restaurant for Valentines. Our sitter was supposed to come at 6:30. We put Cam down for bed extra early and were ready to go. We waited...and waited. Our sitter unfortunately forgot. In her defense, this was SO UNLIKE her. She is super responsible, which is why we weren't upset. A little bummed, but not upset. There was no way we could have made our reservation in time, so we just canceled and stayed at home. Oh well.

After a nice meal of take out Mexican, we exchanged our cards. Since our anniversary is less than a month away, we just exchange cards on V-day, then gifts for our anniversary. I did want to do a little something special, so I made Chris's favorite Girls Scout Cookies, Samoas (thanks for the recipe, Jessica!). One word: wow! Quite tasty and very similar to the real thing. I made my own Girls Scout box as my presentation. It was a fun little project. :)




So that was our Valentines night. Not quite what we had pictured, but special none the less.
