Merry Valentine's Day

First let me show you the freshly fallen snow we woke up to find today.

 

Yesterday's Valentine's Day was full of movies at home with the girls and searching the web. Michael came home from work with goodies for the girls and I. This was my first time tasting chocolate that didn't come from the states.

(The Toblerone makes me think of the Friends' London episodes)

 Both of the girls enjoyed their goodies from Daddy too.

One of the dishes we had for dinner was one of my own twists on Tuna Mac.
