Five Loves on Friday!



Happy Friday, lovelies!  I'm so excited to share all the celebratory goodness that's been going on here since this time last week!


1.  Valentine's Day Goodies from my Love!





I don't think I could have smiled any bigger than I did when I read the words  "Chocolate Tower"!  My lovey knows what I like, that's for sure!


The gift of yummy eats just kept coming!  We took advantage of a Famous Dave's offer of 25% off to-go orders and brought home some deliciousness! {...and may have eaten dinner in our pajamas!  PERFECTION in my book!}  

My Picks:  Traditional Wings, Famous Fries, & Corn Bread Muffin
+

Dave's Famous Bread Pudding - best shared with the one you love most!


We watched some fun shows in our Netflix/Hulu queues and enjoyed the night with barbecue sauce covered fingers and smile covered faces!  Full hearts & tummies ...does it get any better than that?!



2.  Date Night!
Saturday night my parents invited the girls to spend the night!  Hooray for ALL involved!  Jason and I were super excited for some couple time!  

Our night involved a little bit of this...

Snacky goodness including our favorite - Whole Foods' Curried Chicken Salad! YUM!

+

...And a little bit of that.

Clean Guys of Comedy features comedians Dave Coullier {aka: "Joey Gladstone"}, Jamie Kennedy, Heather McDonald, Ralph Louis Harris, and Andy Hendrickson.  In our opinion, it was just okay.  I laughed pretty hard at certain bits, others not so much.  


Any suggestions on what our next Redbox rental should be?  I'd love to hear about your favorite recent rental in the comment section below! ;)



3.  SURPRISE Extended Weekend!
Sunday afternoon I was thinking about what a great weekend it'd been, but was a lit'l down that it was wrapping up ...then, Jason gave the girls and I one last Valentine's weekend surprise!! He told us that he'd put in for a vacation day on Monday to extend our weekend!  

It was the first day, in I don't even know how long, that we didn't set an alarm!  SO REFRESHING!!!

I had forgotten how much I LOVE sleep!

We enjoyed such a relaxing day together as a family!  It was pretty much bliss. *happy sigh*



4.  Farewell Party
Good Luck Charlie has been a family favorite of ours from the start!  Since we don't have cable these days (and it'll take a while before Netflix adds it), my parents thoughtfully DVRed the series finale and hosted a viewing party complete with a smorgasbord of delicious eats and sweet treats! 


 It was a fun & yummy evening together celebrating the end of an era.  Great family friendly sitcoms are hard to come by these days, this one will certainly be missed!



5.  Pentatonix | Valentine
We listen to a lot of Pentatonix at our house.  I've been singing this song all week, not nearly as well as they do, of course! ;) ...but I love it!


Each member of this group is so incredibly talented!



Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to visit today!  Wishing you a fabulous weekend ahead!

  9. I love your Valentine's gifts! Those are delicious looking treats - especially the covered pretzels. Famous Dave's is AWESOME! And 25% off? Even better. That bread pudding looks out of this world. I rented "The Butler" from Redbox a couple of weekends ago, you guys should rent that one too. It's up for a lot of awards. It was great. Sleep is definitely gift! I completely agree with you, I am looking forward to it tomorrow.

    I hope you have a great weekend babe, xo!
