All of the pictures from our weekend are on my phone. We got them downloaded to google and hopefully the above link will take one to the pictures to view.

Friday was a bit of a dreary looking day outside. Cold and cloudy. We managed a good bit of school and Kevin worked from home which was nice. We finished school around 3:40 and he finished work at 4:00 and thus our weekend started!
We enjoyed a French picnic while Jason played Wii. :)

Friday evening we made pan seared(and then oven baked at 500 degrees, that's right)steak for dinner. The 1st picture is searing the steak on the stovetop in cast iron. We seared and baked ours to be medium-rare. YUM! It was so, so good. The 2nd picture is of the roses my wonderfully romantic husband had ordered for me for our romantic weekend. :) The 3rd is of the empty bottle of bubbly. YUM!!!!!

Saturday morning we woke up to freezing fog, 2 inches of ice and almost 2 inches of snow and it was snowing. HOW perfectly romantic....snow for our weekend. It was great! There are a few pictures of the snow and also one of our French breakfast. YUM!! So, so good. Not AS good as the breakfast we had on our 5th anniversary IN France, but pretty darn good. We(okay, "I") decided I didn't want to cook lunch so we opted to go to Gunter Toody's and there is a picture or two of Kevin and Jason playing pinball there. Food is totally not good for you, but we only go once every 2 or 3 years, so.

There is a picture of our chocolate covered strawberries and bubbly and chianti. YUM! Strawberries=yum, chocolate=yum. Win....win! Probably another picture or two of the roses. I really like my roses. :)

We ended our weekend with slow cooker beef stew which was amazing and there is a picture of it with some sweet iced tea. And then finished with Tiramisu and some really strong coffee! What a wonderful, and romantic weekend. We truly, truly did not miss Denver AT ALL!

This week we will be studing the Gold Rush as well as President's Day in school. Jason is pretty excited about the gold deal. :) Kevin is working from home tomorrow this week. We aren't doing anything special tomorrow because the weekend was our Valentine's celebration.

And here's to a brand spanking new week! Hopefully we will all be productive!!
