Life's Little Pleasures

Last weekend we went to the cabin with our friends James and Tiffanie. When we got there the snow was almost to the top of the fence! It then snowed everyday while we were there! So fun!  Tiffanie and I made delicious meals for our hubbies and we all loaded up on Cadbury Eggs, Elfudge Cookies, Diet Coke (minus Tiff of course! Not good for babies!), and lots of other yummy treats!  Tiff and I spent the days watching chick flicks, painting our nails, and just talking and relaxing.  Ian and James on the other hand went ice fishing everyday! (I still don't understand it...)


This is Ian and James just before headed out for their first trip of the weekend

Loading up the Toyota.

This is our Family's Cabin!





Then this weekend....Ian and I got something very special....


Our new addition!  We were lucky enough to have this given to us by my work! They are buying a new TV for the office and gave this to us :) 

Some of the other things this week that have made me happy....

-Ian got the tub cleaner than I have ever seen it...I still am baffled at how he did it.

-The girls at my work...I just love them.

-Little kids at the office facinated by the fish guys while they clean the tank

-We sold our Subaru!

-Our cat jumped in the bath tub full of water and ran out soaking wet! Hilarous.

-I finally made it costco and loaded up on our favorite foods!

-Ian visiting me at work on my lunch breaks after school and looking out over the valley while we eat PB&J's

 It's easy to forget the little things that makes life a pleasure.  Don't take for granted the things that make you smile every day.  I am so grateful for these things :)

Life is good.

Valentine's Day!

Earlier in the week a friend and I got together to make something special for our hubbies in celebration of Valentines.  This is what we made....




 Don't they look just delicious? 


We also used ice cube makers as molds for these delicious chocolate hearts with our left over chocolate.


As an extra special treat I made these heart sugar cookies (that I brought to girl's night when we had a Valentine making party!) and also gave some to the ladies at my work ;)


These are the Valentines I made at the party! (Great idea mom and sisters!)

This was my Valentine gift above from my hubby.....

and this was my Valentine gift to him! (plus all the yummy goodies I made of course!)

 I was able to have Friday and Saturday off this week so Ian and I made a list of all the fun things we could do and then had fun spending all day each day together! I could think of no better way to spend Valentine's Weekend :)  Hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day!
