Valentine's Day=Overrated

This is the stupidest holiday ever created. It's just a made-up day for girls' significant others to feel obligated to be all lovey-dovey and buy a gift. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to go out to eat or get flowers every so often, but does it have to be on a certain day that this must happen? Brian and I have never really celebrated this holiday. In fact, I don't think we have ever even went out to eat on this crazy day. We just exchange cards and it works for us. So instead, we spent the day with family!

Brian's mom and grandma came to KC this weekend. It was great having them here and wish they would come more often! Saturday, we had lunch at 5 Guys Burger and Fries at the Legends (new hamburger joint that is very good, but a total heart attack/grease monsoon). Brian just loves this place. Then, we introduced Momma K and Grandma to Nebraska Furniture Mart. Grandma was really impressed with how big it was and really thought it was something:). Then, we watched the K-State game at home, and had chicken enchiladas with tomatillo/poblano chile sauce and a few bottles of wine. Yum! We also discovered that Jake has a liking for apples. He was snooping around in the guest bedroom, found an apple in Nancy's bag and starting eating it! It was the funniest thing ever --  like he had found a juicy steak or something!

Sunday, Brian flipped pancakes for breakfast and we ate at Spin! Pizza for lunch. Very good pizzas and salads. They were hoping to stay longer, but the random in-and-out blizzards had them leaving early. But I think it was a good thing because when Brian and I were headed back home on 435, the highway was closed right near our exit! It was nuts! It was really backed up and apparently 435 north bound at holiday, 35 and 87th and 70 at the K-7 hook up were all closed for several hours due to 25+ car pile-up wrecks. Another reason why we all need to pack up and head to the beach!! Snow, go away already!

 

Look for the pancake slightly in the air! :)

 

Get that apple, jakey!
