Valentine's Day

This year Joe had to work on Valentine's Day, so we celebrated a day late. We went out to eat at Red Robbin and got to spend a few awesome hours ALL ALONE! We don't get a whole lot of time with just Joe and I, so I love it when this happens. Neither of us go for the traditional sentimental gifts most of the time. It's not that they aren't cute, but I like to give him stuff he really wants instead of something that is just appropriate for the holiday. Anyway, I gave Joe some XBOX Live points that he's been wanting. He was such a sweetheart and took me shopping for a new purse. He doesn't like shopping, so this was awesome. For the kids, we gave them each a small box of chocolates to celebrate the holiday and they each had a Valentine's party at school. I got to help Alexis make a Valentine's Box this year which was a lot of fun. I hope your Valentine's Day was as enjoyable as ours.

Joe's Birthday: The Big 27

Joe's birthday was about a week ago. He had to work, but we definitely made the best of it. He's been wanting the Kinect since before it even came out. So, he finally got one along with a couple of games. If you know Joe, you know he LOVES to dance. One of the games is a dancing game and it is so fun to watch everyone play it. I look like a nutcase with no rhythm, but Joe looks amazing playing it. I'll try to take a picture of him playing.

I am so proud of him and am so appreciative of everything he does for our family. I hope you had a great birthday babe!
