I know, I know, it's been a whole week since Valentine's day, and I am just now getting to a recap.
We had a great date night in.
The menu was fettuccine alfredo, garden salad, roasted garlic bread, and peanut butter blossoms for dessert. Everything was a huge hit! (he insisted of taking a picture of the spread)
As for my gift to Alex, my friend gave me this idea that her boyfriend did for her a few years ago. He came up with a lot of date ideas, and made a date jar. I tried to keep mine from being typical or cheezy. You can let me know if I hit my mark!
So here you have it:
