Valentine's Day is a special day for our family. Not only is it a day of romance, but it is Grandpa Cichon's Birthday! We celebrated all weekend for the most part. Tom detoured from his traditional Valentine's gift for me-- he boils for me! Meaning, he makes a special candlelight dinner made up of all things boiled, like artichokes for appetizers, and lobster and crab legs for dinner, even boiled potatoes and veggies! Amazing how many things taste good boiled! But I digress-- this year, he made us reservations in Canon City at an Italian restaurant called Merlino's Belvedere. A Fourth generation restaurant with exquisite food! They had a special Chef's Night of "tantalizing exotic tastes to provoke sensual emotions of love" (that was on the menu) It was a 7 course meal that took two hours to eat! Everything from steak, pasta, lobster latee (kind of a bisque), to almond custard floating in almond milk with rasperries and Belgium chocolate. Every course came with chef's choice of wine as well. It was a wonderful evening!
Caleb had a good time as well! He spent the evening with his best friend Mason Shepard, watching "Horton Hears A Who" and eating popcorn! Brandi said they actually sat and watched the show for a long time--at least long time in baby time! Here is a pic of the two boys watching the show, sitting with Bunny and Lammy, their prospective pals!
