Happy Valentine's Day

We are having a fantastic Valentine's Day! No roses, heart-shaped chocolates or dinner reservations, just a nice day out and about, complete with delicious treats from The Cupcake Shoppe. This is one of my all-time favorite places. Whenever I go in, I can appreciate how some women feel about Tiffany's.

Charlie enjoys his Brown Betty, icing first


Ashleigh digs into her Plain Jane, with conversation heart


A moment of calm before the sugar high takes hold


We went from there to Pullen Park, so the kids could run off some cupcake energy. After feeding the ducks and geese, we walked by this gorgeous cherry tree. Seemed the perfect place for a photo of our two tiny lovebirds.



To cap off our day, Evan made heart-shaped meatballs for dinner. Cupcakes and meatballs? And a new episode of Battlestar Galactica still on the DVR? Beats roses any day.
