Valentines day with the Clouds

Ben and I aren't huge celebrators of Valentines day but we decided to cook ourselves a really good dinner and put the girls to bed early on Sat night. Since we can't ever go out to dinner without the girls, preparing a new special recipe always feels like a treat.

I found a SUPER yummy Beef Tips with Mushrooms in a Red Wine Sauce served over Sliced Baked Potatoes and a even yummier White Chocolate Almond Pie recipe. We topped it off with a sparkling grape juice and a little "Sam Cooke" music to set the mood. It was really relaxing and truly felt like we were eating somewhere else. The only thing I was missing was a waiter to refill my glass and serve me dessert LOL. Guess we can't have everything.















Then on Sunday we packed a picnic lunch and took the girls up to Akaka Falls. Its one of the Big islands most beautiful natural wonders. Huge waterfalls set in the rain forest. The girls loved it! I also got Presley twinkies as a V-day present. It was her first time eating one and she was instantly in LOVE, she ate 2!!
