We are having a wonderful Valentine's Day here with lots of yummy food! I decided not to do anything to crazy since it is a Tuesday and Scott had to go to work (and possibly have to work late) but I wanted to do a little something special. So we had some delicious Overnight Creme Brulee French Toast! I used some homemade brioche and a recipe that is lower in calories but you would never know it is lower in calories and fat because it is awesome. I will definitely be making it again sometime. It literally takes minutes to put together the night before and then you just pop it in the oven in the morning! Gavin even loved it!
Gavin and I had a pretty low key day, just a little bit of picking up and cleaning and lots of play time! We had a little bit of cooking to do as well. I had already made dessert last night (much easier to make, decorate and clean up after Gavin is in bed) and I had picked something that both Scott and I really love but doesn't require me to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. We had Chicken Salad on fresh homemade rolls, baked potatoes and roasted green beans. Gavin was a big help making each one. He loves helping put flour, sugar, water (or anything) into the Kitchen Aid bowl and turning it on. He is pretty good about minimal mess too, although a little extra mess isn't a big deal since it makes him so happy to stand there and help!
Scott was able to get home at his normal time so we were all able to sit down and eat dinner together. After dinner, Scott surprised me with a movie! I had ordered a movie from Amazon that had just come out and it hadn't come yet (even though it should have) and I was really hoping it would come today. When it didn't I was really bummed and Scott left work a little early and went and picked it up for me as a surprise! Yay!
Since I only managed to remember to take pictures of our day this morning before Gavin was dressed, here are a few cute pictures of him still in his pajamas!
So, now I am off to watch Breaking Dawn Part 1! I am so excited! Definitely a great day!
