Best Valetines Day Ever!

Well we haven't done much for the last few Valentine Days, but we sure made up for it this weekend! I gave the girls their gifts a few days early so they could wear the shirts I got them. Brenna wanted a Valentine Build-a-Bear for her birthday so we went to the mall with our friends on Friday. Ben's parents so graciously came up again to watch the girls for us on Saturday night. We stayed at the Hilton in Beavercreek and got the Valentines package which included a red rose, truffles, champagne and brunch the next day! We were so glad we decided to stay close to home, because we were able to do so much fun stuff in a pretty short time. We started the day with breakfast at Bob Evans and then did a little shopping. Then we thought it would be fun to go bowling since we never really do that anymore. Next, we headed to the Fairfield Mall for more shopping and even played with the sweetest Italian Greyhound puppy ever! There may be one of those in our future as soon as Natalie is a little older. We went to check into the hotel and just relaxed and gave each other our gifts. Ben got me the prettiest diamond earrings! I was not expecting that one. He hasn't gotten me any jewerly in quite awhile so I guess he thought it was a good time. We had dinner at McCormick and Schmick's Seafood at the Greene. It was delicious and we were even seated by a blazing fire during our meal. We woke up this morning to an amazing champagne brunch with too much food to list! It was so nice having such a fun-filled weekend doing exactly what we wanted! Thanks mom and dad! This was a weekend I will never forget.

Strike! Yes of course I beat Ben both games! :-)
