This year I was excited for some surprises that I had in store for Gil, Not only did Gil have a surprise, but I had one up my sleeve as well. I found a recipe online to make homemade cupcakes with hearts in the middle of them (which I’ve never done before)with Laffy Taffy Frosting and figured out a way to make them into hearts.
So I bought the Valentine cake mix and baked the cake, so the next morning I could make hearts out of it. Well I realized that I forgot to color it pink, so wasn’t sure that the heart was gonna show up. So I thought maybe I’ll color the cupcake pink and hopfully the white heart will show up.. Well didn’t really work that way. Next time I will have to remember to color it pink. Technically what I was supposed to do was use half of the mix color it pink and then bake it into a small pan, but thought the Valentine Mix would work. Oh well gotta learn somehow. 
Next I with the left over cake I had,
I made some Heart shaped cake pops (first time for making cake pops, and it was kinda fun once I got the hang of it). I thought I could make the cupcakes and the cake pops into Conversation Hearts, but the writing icing that I bought wasn’t working as well as I hoped it to work. So I just outlined them. They turned out really good. I was so excited. 
The day before I was trying to put together Gil’s Valentines Day gift.( I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t come up with Gil’s Valentines day gift all by myself I had found it on Pinterest and thought this is neat I might have to try it.) I had everything I needed so I thought.
I went to sit down and try putting things together, but realized the deck of cards that I had for this project had 48 cards and I needed 52. The idea of this was to write down 52 reason why I love him. So with 48 cards that was a little hard, so I had to cut paper and write down my reasons then the next day had to buy a new set of cards and put them together. So needless to say Valentines Day was a Busy day with baking/decorating and putting this together. 
I also found this idea of buying a frame with a mat ( I didn’t buy the frame yet, just the mat) and writing out the song lyrics to our first dance and then putting a picture of us dancing and framing it, so I wrote out the lyrics to our first dance on the mat and gave that to him as well. I’m not as creative as my Husband, so I have to look up ideas of things to do. ;-)
The picture is obviously not us. ;-)When Gil got home from work and we made the Lasagna dinner he wanted to make the other day.
Turns out the reason why it wasn’t working was because he bought spring roll wrappers, cuz he couldn’t find the egg roll wrappers. Turns out that egg roll wrappers are in the cooler if you are ever looking for them. I found them in the cooler by the veggies. It turned out pretty good actually. and he even decorated it just like he had planned the other night he wanted to make this. 
Then just stayed home the rest of the night and had a relaxing night, because we missed our Financial Peace class for the past 3 weeks, cuz of work, so we might just have to listen to the Cd’s ourselves since we keep missing the class. Good thing we already paid for it last time we took it. ;-)
Hope you all had a Wonderful Valentine’s Day. What did you do to Celebrate Valentine’s Day?
