Valentines 2011

We really enjoyed Valentine's Day this year and because it landed on a Monday we got to celebrate all weekend!

We kicked off the celebration Saturday night---anticipating huge crowds everywhere on Monday--- with a nice dinner at Rodizio's. It is to Tucanos as Costa Vida is to Cafe Rio. (While it was yummy, we think we still prefer Tucano's salad bar & lower prices over Rodizio's). After dinner we walked to the nearby theater and saw True Grit. This is a great movie and if you haven't seen it it would definitely be worth your time! The movie was followed up by ice cream and cookies at Smart Cookie. It was fun to spend the whole evening "out on the town".

Sunday was spent with church, a trip to Santaquin and just enjoying each other's company. Oh...and for Brad, like most days, a little bit of homework.

Monday came and we had plans to stay in (note, the anticipation of huge crowds again). We made homemade pizza together, in the shape of a heart of course--picture above, pre-cheese stage. Dinner was followed by a trip to Coldstone (only my most favorite place in the world--I guess Brad DOES love me), the we hopped into our "comfy clothes" and settled together on the couch to watch our favorite Monday television shows, namely Cake Boss & Pawn Stars.

Overall we had a great Valentine extravaganza that lasted all weekend long---too bad Valentines Day doesn't happen on a Monday EVERY year.
