A Vegas Valentine's Day

We actually celebrated Valentine's Day a week early this year.  We've started a tradition where myself and 2 of my friends plan a fun evening for our husbands.  (One of "the girl's" was having surgery the day before Valentine's day, so we needed to change the date.) You may remember the "Little Black Dress Event" from last year.  This year we celebrated Vegas style.2009 02 02_2734

Our husbands were asked to RSVP via a king card (if they'd attend) or a joker card (if they had better things to do).  The catch was they had to do so creatively.  Matt of course didn't disappoint.  The first thing he did was wake me up with a text that said, "I'm only a JOKER without you.  Having you in my life makes me a KING.  I would be honored to attend tomorrow with my QUEEN. Luv U."  (cue the AAAaaahhhs)  As my day proceeded I found King cards on virtually everything I touched...my coke in the fridge, the dog treats, my debit card in my purse, the front AND back windshields, etc.  The day ended with a single red rose and a king card attached to it.  Isn't he the cutest!?!?!

This is what our evening looked like...

We dressed somewhat like Vegas showgirls.  It's hard to tell in these pics but we had insanely long, fake eyelashes with rhinestones on. 2009 02 06_2690 2009 02 06_2688

We made virgin strawberry margaritas in big, HUGE glasses, and we ordered PF Changs for dinner.

We had an impromptu performance of Taylor Swift's Love Story. (I can't believe I'm posting these for the world to see.)   2009 02 06_2720 2009 02 06_2721

We then watched "What Happens In Vegas", and were going to play poker afterwards, but due to some poor choices by some children the night was cut short.  So no poker this time.

We had an awesome time though.  How was your Valentines Day?

Happy Valentine's Day!
