Valentines Day!

Being our first Valentines day married I wanted to have a very romantic day! So I planned out our whole day! (because if I didn't I knew Chantz wouldn't :)First Chantz was awaken by a text message at 7 in the morning telling him to go to the office. There he found some goodies and then his next clue that sent him to his parents house, and then on to the barn, his truck, the old cabin and then back to our house! It took him a good 2 hours and by the time he got back I had heart shaped cinnamon rolls ready to eat! Then came the real present of the day... our MASSAGES!! This obviously was my idea, and after the innitial shock of laying naked under a sheet, chantz said he really loved it and the hour seemed to go by in a matter of minuets! After our massages, I brought a little picnic lunch that we ate and then we headed back home and took a nice afternoon nap. Then for the evening I prepared a nice dinner of salad, chicken cordon blue, homemade rolls, and then for dessert some chocolate dipped strawberries and white chocolate rasberry cheesecake. I had fun finding foods that I could make look like hearts! Now I can't take all the credit, chantz did make me a beautiful shelf (which I will post one of these days) and a Scentsy burner which I have wanted forever! So anyway I loved how our day went and hope everyone else had a lovely V day!

These were the cute cinnamon rolls I made.














And here is our little picnic with cute little
heart sandwiches, red drinks, and cute
little dessert cookies I made.



Here is my favorite spinach salad with the yummy sugar roasted almonds and the works.
(and notice the homemade heart croutons I made :) )









This is the white chocolate rasberry cheesecake. When I dropped little dollops of the rasberry sauce and then pulled a toothpick through them they turned into hearts! On top of being so cute it was a freakin good cheesecake!








And of course the classic chocolate dipped strawberries. I had been really craving these and this was just the perfect occasion to make them!
