This year's Valentines Day was special because KC and I had a special sweetheart to share our love. I have to give credit to KC and his friends for the awesome surprise they pulled off (at least it was a surprise for Brittany, good job Jody). They started the planning weeks ago to head up to the Tait's cabin at Bear Lake on Friday night to have a very nice dinner and sleep over. The dinner was so good, complete with a very creative menu and super yummy dessert! All the details are below...with lots of pics!
The boys hard at work getting our dinner ready
The table set up...there was a rose by each of the ladies' plates with a note from their man! (click to enlarge) 
I'm pretty proud of this "Lovers Dinner" menu...done by my husband. He is pretty creative, and funny too!! (Click on the menu to enlarge it....) 
Jeff trying to grip his fork with his huge snow gloves...cute scarf Jeff!!
The main course...Lemon Chicken with cheesey rissoto and grilled veggies on the side. It was so good! Yes, the boys cooked all of this! 
Poor Maycee has been sick for the last week with her very first cold, snot constantly draining...this was the biggest blow! (sorry its a little gross, but I thought it was SO funny!)After dinner and yummy lava cake for dessert we finally got the kids to bed (super late because of the heating issues). Then we shared our favorite stories about our spouse...this quickly turned into the most embarassing stories of our spouse. We still can't believe Jody and Brittany had no stories to tell!! By the end we were all sore from laughing so hard and decided since it was 2 am it was time for bed. We prepped some sticky buns for breakfast and headed for our warm beds.
This is what we found when we came downstairs in the morning. Guess it got a little TOO warm in the cabin...It was gooey goodness when we cleaned it up and cooked them!
The guys: K.C., Jody, Roomate Jeff, and Tall Jeff 
The ladies: Natalie, Brittany, Sally, and Chiante
This is the best picture I could get of Maycee in her Valentines Day outfit. Love her!!
On our way out of town, we had some dinner at the local drive-in and snapped a little family photo with the bears...they are everywhere up there! This one looks like it might eat Maycee's head!***I want to thank my husband for all the planning he did for this...not to take credit from the other guys, but I know he spent lots of time and I am so grateful. It shows me how much he really cares, that he would want to surprise me with something so creative and special. I just want him to know how much I love him and hope he knows that he means the world to me! Love you babe, things will turn soon!

Are you freaking kidding me... and I thought the ghetto-blaster could never be topped!!!
I'm dying laughing re-living Valentine's Day all over again via your blog post! You described it perfectly! The boys really did a good job with the delicious dinner. And the Menu was superbly written K.C.!!!
Good thing Maycee was rockin' that adorable beanie with our heat problems. She always looks so cute - even with snot running down her face.
So much fun...and the image of Bears will never be the same for me again! :)
You guys are the greatest. Thanks for documenting the fun weekend. Lets do it again in the summer when we can play on the beach and the boat, and if the furnace doesn't work - ain't no thang.
My favorite part has to be the "drizzled moist" wait, it's a toss-up. It could be the vuluptuous chicken breast. Who know chicken's breasts could be vuluptuous??? Way to go KC! (And just so you know, the security word I have to type in is "pootini" SERIOUSLY)
You guys are awesome! I miss you already! That was the funnest weekend that I have had in a long time... not the most relaxing, but funnest. Anyway, I hope everything is going well for you guys and things continually get better.
impressive!! i think someone was looking to get a little somethin somethin that night...
KC, I know you guys are still on vacation but I just wanted to drop in and see your blog. And Amy Dansie is my cousin. How do you guys know them? Small world.
