Valentine's Weekend Fun

On Valentine's Day weekend, my in-laws offered to come visit and take care of our girls and the critters so we could have a weekend to ourselves. Of course we agreed to that! We had a fun weekend of eating, relaxing, making jewelry, and shopping.

Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory. Oh my goodness, so good!

I forget the name but it was cheesecake with caramel, peanut butter cups, butterfingers, peanut butter, and chocolate. 

My husband and I made rings for each other on Valentine's Day. Check out the concentration I have while I am practicing stamping on a copper piece before I stamp the silver which will become my husband's new ring.

Not sure why I am holding a file while showing off the cupcakes from Scratch Cupcakery we had as a snack while making rings. But I am, so there.

Husband hard at work stamping a silver strip (which was to become my ring).

Fire! We had fun using a teeny tiny little torch to solder our rings.

The finished rings! (After a bunch of shaping, filing, sanding, and cleaning)

Such a fancy Valentine's dinner. It has been tradition since we met to have heart-shaped pizza for Valentine's Day since neither of us are interested in braving the crowds for dinner. At least this year it was also relaxing to eat in our hotel room without the kiddos!
