It's that magical day of love again. The day that brings chocolate and romance. Or friendship and hugs. Either way, I hope that you are feeling loved today! (PS. The picture above is so much cuter if you click on it to make it bigger.)
We celebrated Valentine's Day yesterday since Ryan was off work. Since we celebrated Thanksgiving on a Friday and Christmas 2 days early, we figured that it didn't matter too much. We had a nice quiet lunch at Macaroni Grill in Grapevine. Eva was with us but slept in her carrier most of the time. There were only a few other people in the restaurant. We hadn't been to Macaroni Grill in years but had a left over gift card from Christmas (one of those great ones that can be used at multiple places). I like the bread and olive oil to dip in that they serve there. I also love drawing on the table!
After lunch we went to Main Event. Did you know they currently have unlimited $5 bowling Sunday - Thursday? What a deal. We bowled 4 games - the most I've ever bowled at once! Plus they had fun 1990's music videos playing and we were
the only people bowling for most of the time.
Strike! This was probably my only strike all day, and we caught it on camera! It might have been a spare, but I can't remember so we'll just say it was a strike.
Eva tried to bowl but she was too little. Ryan rolled the ball for her and we let her watch it roll down slowly and knock over some pins.
The bowling expert. How is Ryan so good at bowling? Isn't that a nerdy thing to be good at? Maybe I'm just jealous. He can bowl better with his eyes shut than I can concentrating. Some people have all the talent.
Eva was the best baby! She sat in her stroller or was passed back and forth. She smiled and laughed. She eventually took another nap in her stroller. We are lucky parents.
Did you notice my new hair cut? I chopped off 10 inches last Thursday to donate to Locks of Love. Ryan always likes it when I cut my hair short so I thought it would be a good change for a while. I will grow it back out when Eva is passed the pulling on hair phase.
The final score from game one. After this we bowled many variations. Granny bowling. Spin bowling. Backwards bowling. Eyes closed bowling. Under one leg bowling. You know what I found out? It does not matter how I bowl, I will average 6 pins. I can do my best and get 6 pins or I can be goofy and get 6 pins.
My valentine for my sweetheart. We didn't have much to spend on Valentine's so we decided to skip gifts and use our $$ to for the bowling instead. I made this giant card for him. It's a little cheesy but I think he liked it. Next to the Reese's it says, "You have stolen our {hearts}" and next to the Subway card it says, "Eva and I want to give you a great big hug and make a big love {sandwich}." I tried to be creative so that Ryan would still feel appreciated. For my Valentine, Ryan wrote Eva a letter for her scrapbook telling her how much he loves her mother. It was thoughtful and will last a long time :)
We got Eva the book
Love You Forever as her Valentine's gift. It's a sweet story about a mother who will always love her son even as he grows up. We laughed about the semi-creepy part where the mother sneaks into the house of the grown man at night to rock him as he sleeps. Eva, we'll try to let you grow up and not be stalker parents, but we do really love you so much! Eva mostly wanted to eat it but we've enjoyed reading it twice already. Happy Valentine's Day from our family to you!
