VALENTINE Sunday Dinner - 2011

Today was wonderful. The sun was shining and love was in the air! Seemed like everyone wore pink or red, in some fashion, to church (including me!). Rob kept leaning over and kissing me all through sacrament. It was cute. We had a plan to make grilled pizza's, caesars salad, greek pasta salad texas sheet cake and brownie pudding for dessert. When church was over we walked home (one of the things I love about Utah, except when it snows), and I got cooking. Brooke (my cute niece) came for dinner. We LOVE having her over. She brings such happiness to all of us. Krista set the table and when Brooke got here they started rolling out the sugar cookie dough. They made the CUTEST small cookies and dipped them in chocolate. I made mini grilled pizzas and we literally had a party topped off with Sonic Ice and Sparkling Apple/Grape Juice. We enjoyed watching the girls open their special valentines day cards with a small token attached. We got all three of them a necklace that represents how we feel about them...Leanna got a small dove charm necklace because she is our sweet peacemaker, Krista a heart locket to remember how much we love her, and Brooke a rhinestone small heart charm to remind her that when she comes over she brings light and sparkle to us and we love her. THEN we started eating. SOOOO good. I haven't had grilled pizza's in a LONG time it seems. I love this recipe. I'm posting again, because it's so yummy. Then we watched My Big Fat Greek Weeding together and Sherlock Holmes (because Rob is feeling no love with all these girls around LOL). Talking, Laughing, Eating, Dessert-ing, Valentines Day feels totally real this year.
