The Best Valentines Day Ever!

Waking up to someone you love so much and knowing that they are yours forever.... is unexplainable! Too excited to sleep Christian woke me up Saturday morning with his first valentines gift. We had coffee time in our PJ's and talked about all of our past Valentines Day adventures. We spent a couple hours on the phone wishing everyone in our families Happy Valentines Day and even a couple birthday wishes as well! Then we decided to go for a walk with Dixie in the snow. Nothing like a winter wonderland to set the romantic mood!

I wanted to show off my snow angel skills to my sweetheart but.... Dixie thought she could do a better job and jumped all over me to prove it!
Dixie is soooo much fun in the snow! We can not get her to hold still for a second. She has even learned how to slid down a snow mound by herself! We are so proud =)

I started breakfast when we go back. I wanted to try something new.... it didn't exactly turn out the way I had hoped.....

Christian decided he wanted to cook me dinner. He wanted to make beer can chicken, his specialty

Usually he uses smaller game hens instead of a whole chicken so he wasn't prepared for......

the whole chicken to catch on fire! He managed to singe his eyebrows and the front of his hair. At this point I was laughing to hard to help..... I decided to take pictures instead =)

I decided to make a blueberry pie for desert.... it turned out pretty good! here's the recipe!

2FIT half of pastry in a 9-inch pieplate according to package directions.
3COMBINE 1 cup sugar and next 3 ingredients; add to berries, stirring well.
4Pour into crust (I make my own crust but to save time you can buy the premade pastry crust at the store and it's just as good), and dot with butter.
5Roll out remaining pastry on a lightly floured surface; roll gently with rolling pin

6Place crust over filling; seal and crimp edges.
7Cut slits in top of crust to allow steam to escape.
8Brush top of pie crust with beaten egg, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar BAKE at 375° for one hour 9Cover edges with aluminum foil to prevent overbrowning
