SWEETEST VALENTINE'S DAY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where do I begin?  Tony and I woke up on Saturday (Valentine's Day) to breakfast in bed. Taylor and Mason made us a special breakfast of Fruit Loops and brought it to us on a tray with the sweetest card in the world.  And since my mom was in town visiting she came up with this great idea for all the kids to cook me and my sister and our husbands a special lasagna valentine's dinner cooked by them.  How sweet is that?  A lot of time and effort went into this night.  The kids starting planning weeks ago for our special night!  On Saturday mom even dragged them all to the grocery store to buy everything...appetizers, salad, decorations, roses, etc...At about 3:00 our phone rang and Taylor called us from GRAN'S RESTAURANT to let us know that we had a reservation at 5:30 p.m. that night.  Tony and I couldn't wait!!  When we arrived at the restaurant (a.k.a. our house ha ha!) there was a wait.  There is a picture below of us waiting.  We were finally able to go inside where Tony and Trebor were greeted by the hostesses then handed a rose to give to us.  We were then escorted to the "lounge" (a.k.a the living room) where we munched on appetizers of shrimp cocktail and cheeses and crackers.  They had jazz music playing so we all decided to start dancing.  This was just like a real restaurant...I couldn't believe it...We were having a blast and hadn't even sat down for dinner yet.  Finally our table was ready!! The wait wasn't too long, about 5 minutes or so thank goodness ha ha!  We were then greeted by our servers Taylor and Ally to take our drink and food orders.  They even had MENUS!! Can you believe it?  How cute!  Oh did I mention the decorations on the table and the beautiful roses?  Oh and candlelight too!  This was a very relaxing evening...we had a babysitter come over and keep the babies upstairs while we ate.  I couldn't imagine trying to have a romantic dinner with Baker trying to crawl up in my lap! After dinner we were offered dessert...prepared especially by Taylor...a Mr. Goodbar pie she made all by herself.  Unfortunately my camera battery died and I didn't get a picture of it but it sure was good.  I can't tell you how special this night was for us.  These kids put so much time and effort into making it a night we will always remember.  It sure does beat going out somewhere and being waited on by someone else!!  I love my kids to death!!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!
Hope everyone had a special valentine's like we did!
