Our Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentine's Day this year. The main thing I love about Valentine's Day, or what it means to me, is that it is simply about love. Not just romantic love, but the love you have for the ones in your life. I want to show my family that everyday, but it is fun to have a day solely dedicated to that concept. And Eric truly outdid himself this year. In the midst of my workday Monday I received these. I was so surprised!

On Saturday night Eric also made me a very special meal. He made lo mein, homemade egg rolls, and homemade crab ragoon. For dessert he made perfiderols. Delicious. On Tuesday I wanted to make the children a special treat as well. A few weeks ago we switched to all natural eating and only whole foods. I thought it would be tricky to find a dessert that contained no refined suga,r but luckily I found a recipe for whole wheat brownies. They were sweetened with all natural pure maple syrup. They were very rich and the boys loved them!
For dinner I made a slow cooker whole organic chicken.

And roasted asparagus. The meal was a hit!
Speaking of things I love- I love this little thing! She has been a bit fussy lately. Perhaps teething? But even through all that she is the sweetest baby. I love her pouty face she is making.

Oh the love.
I just love!
