Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a fabulous weekend here at the Delaney house. On Friday I was surprised with 18 long stem roses in the mail from my wonderful husband, they are beautiful! Friday night we put a very cranky Belle to bed and then enjoyed a nice dinner and a movie on the couch. Saturday the craziness began. We drove Belle out to my Mom and Dad's where she spent the night. Here we are before leaving our little one for the day.

Then John and I drove down town to grab some quick lunch and see a matinee; August in Osage County. The play was very good. I would definitely recommend it even though it is 3 hours long and a bit of a downer; that's when you know a play is good! After the play we went a few blocks over to Petterino's. We had never been there before and really enjoyed it. The decor is similar to an old supper club, and the food was excellent. We each had some good salads and really good steaks. After dinner our last stop for the day was the United Center to see a Blackhawk's game. John has been to a lot, but I have never been to a hockey game before. I loved it! There is a lot of energy, the crowd goes completely crazy whenever they score, it's like a party. I took some video however, like usual, it doesn't do justice. Oh well you get the idea. I think hockey is my new favorite winter sport. John says it is a lot more fun when you have a good winning team like we do- I bet. The game was great and I got to see all of the aspects of a hockey game; after 3 periods the game was tied, so I got to see overtime, then it was still tied so I got to see us win in a shootout. Very cool. While we do like to take Anabelle to most places we did agree that a hockey game was way too loud for her and she wouldn't have liked it yet-but some day. After the game it was home and to sleep after an exhausting but really fun day. The next day we were able to sleep in and then Mom and Dad drove Anabelle back home in the afternoon. It was a great weekend and we appreciated being able to have a day out while Belle stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's.
