Friday is date night, so my husband and I went to Northampton for a soak in a hot tub, some oysters and a beer, then sushi. Since we’ve been having regular date nights, Valentine’s Day isn’t such a big deal; I don’t have to look forward to special holidays – I look forward to every Friday. We had a great night.

Saturday morning, Syna got herself out of bed and came to cuddle with us. Then we made a special Valentine’s Day breakfast:

After that, we made cupcakes:

We cheated a bit and used Cherrybrook Kitchen’s (all natural) Chocolate Cake Mix for the cupcakes. This is a great standby mix – moist, natural ingredients, chocolaty… Instead of corn syrup in the glaze, we used Lyle’s Golden Syrup; we used Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips, too.

Syna truly enjoyed them:

Then Syna and daddy made Valentines:

Syna also got her own bed. Saturday was her first night in it. She loves it. Well, she loves getting in and out of it on her own. :)

Sunday, we met some old friends with their new baby for brunch.

Zinnia, Killeen & Patrick
