Valentine's Day Fun!

We had a lot of fun with Valentine's Day this year.  It was Noah's first year being in school and he was so excited to pick out valentines for all of his preschool friends.  He was BEYOND excited that they had NASCAR at the store so of course he picked those!  He had fun attaching the candy and drawing on them with crayons.  He is actually really good at writing his name himself but asked me to do it for him because he wanted to color.  We also baked and frosted sugar cookies for his preschool teachers as well as for Gramma Patti and Nana Rosa.  

 








On actual Valentine's Day Zach and I had reservations for dinner so we decided to take the kids somewhere fun for lunch.  Noah has been wanting to go back to "Riptide," a restaurant with teppan tables, since we first went there a few weeks ago and so we indulged him in that request.  He had fun watching the show with all the fun food tricks.






Dinner that night was at one of my favorite restaurants here in Ladera Ranch, "Infusions Restaurant and Martini Bar," with Zach's brother Aaron and our sister-in-law Michelle.  We were a little bummed that our favorite foods were not available since they had decided to do a preset Valentine's Day menu, but the martinis did not disappoint!!
