I'm gonna make you a cupcake you can't refuse.

As all good things must come to an end, then I guess Valentine's weekend must as well.  Growing up I hated Valentine's Day.  Mainly because I was one of the only people walking around the halls of my high school with no roses, mylar balloon, oversized card, stuffed bear... you get the idea.  However, Jeffery has always managed to make it great no matter what we're doing.

This year we decided to "keep it small."  Jeffery was so proud of himself; instead of roses he went for a baby rose bush... get it?  "Keep it small." ha!  He also picked up a box of Whitman's Sampler, there is a bite missing from all of them, and since Food Lion had red velvet cake and icing on sale I grabbed that coming home from work one night.  Snow rolled in on Friday evening and Saturday morning Bennett had a winter wonderland to play in.  Jeffery's parents were in town for the day so we went to buy our couch, a gift from the Hunters, and then on to have hot wings for lunch for Jeffery's belated birthday lunch.  After hanging out at the house and watching the miserable UNC vs. NCSU basketball game they headed home and I headed back up to my room for more school work (blah).

We've finished off the weekend with Japanese Steak House for lunch, watching gangster movies (Goodfellas & The Godfather) all day (while I read applications) and our evening activity... CUPCAKES!  Jeffery of course jumped into help when he could break the eggs and use the blender and then came back to decorate.  He even let Bennett get in on the action!

Over all, it's been a great weekend and was exactly what Valentines is supposed to be about, spending time with the people you love... and the food you love!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
