On February 13th we were invited to the P!nk concert at US Airways arena. My boss is a HUGE P!nk fan and he got a suite so that all of my coworkers and our spouses to attend the concert. It was a really great show and she was such a amazing performer. It was a high-energy show from beginning to end and such fun to go out with everyone for the night.
On February 14th Matt surprised me with a huge bouquet of flowers and a sweet note. That night we had a quiet night at home with the girls. We baked heart-shaped pizza, ate heart shaped apple appetizers, had pink smoothies, and finished with chocolate covered strawberries. The girls each got candy and trinkets in their mailbox from us and while our night at home is much different now that we have kiddos it was such a sweet and special night too, and one that we'll remember for years to come.
On February 15th we got to celebrate my birthday at my office. My awesome co-workers wallpapered my office, hung up streamers and lanterns, ordered Mexican food from one of my favorite restaurants, and brought in German chocolate cake (my fav)!
On February 16th I woke up to streamers on my bedroom door. Matt and I do that for the girls on their birthdays and so Matt asked Hayden if she wanted to help him do it for me on my birthday. She was SO excited to help him and managed to be quiet enough that they didn't wake me up so I could sleep in. We lazed around the house and then drove to Biltmore for lunch at Zinburger. Then we walked around, did some shopping, and grabbed fro-yo at Mojo before driving home. That night we had a sitter hang with the girls so we could meet up with Dave and Sarah for drinks, dinner, and more drinks. We met them at the Princess Resort and had dinner at Bourbon Steak. The food was fabulous and it was so nice to eat outside and be with Dave and Sarah. It's not often that we get to spend one-on-one time with them since the girls are usually with us so we got to have some really great and engaging conversation.
On February 17th we had a sitter come again so that we could have a quick afternoon date to celebrate Valentine's Day. I surprised Matt with a trip to Cracker Jack's so we could hit a few golf balls at the driving range. I hadn't hit a golf ball since I was pregnant with Hayden and it was fun getting out there with Matt. I don't expect to be hitting balls again soon but it was really nice to be outside doing something "outdoorsy" with Matt. After that we drove to Culinary Dropout in Old Town Scottsdale. We sat on their patio and had lunch. We started with pretzel rolls and fondue (de-lish!!) and to be honest, I can't remember what we actually ate. The pretzel rolls kind of make you forget the rest of your meal.
Such a fun, crazy, and packed 5 days in February!! Whew!!
