i feel like we have had a weekend long celebration of valentines day. neither of us are big on gift giving, and i told jarad that all i really wanted to do was take a walk by the beach in the evening since we have been experiencing such beautiful sunsets lately. our valentine's day started early on friday when jarad and i got lunch at a great sandwich spot and took it to the beach to enjoy.
the weather was warm and the sky was so blue, and we sat in the back of his truck and enjoyed our lunch. it was perfect and that alone would have been the perfect valentines day celebration. but the rest of the weekend was just as good.
saturday we had a family dinner at my parents house to celebrate my grandfathers birthday. since this was actually valentines day we made it extra special. i made some yummy appetizers and my mom made an awesome steak, smashed potato and ceasar salad dinner. then for dessert i made my grandfathers favorite, flan and of course valentines day couldn't be complete without chocolate covered strawberries. the dogs played, we enjoyed dinner and finished off the night with card games. and jarad was so sweet to get flowers for my grandmother and mom (i helped arrange them and decorate the vase).
and it was a perfect lazy sunday and we ended this amazing weekend with a walk on the strand to catch the sunset and ran into our best friends who had the same idea, followed by a delicious home made dinner.
