Our Valentine's Day celebration

I had the best time last night. Will took me out for dinner and dancing to celebrate Valentine's Day. We left the kids with a babysitter for the first time in years! The ride to Edmonton was so quiet, no fighting in the back, nobody whining and saying "mommy, I'm hungry" or "mommy, I have to go pee" Well, actually I whined that I was hungry and Will said he had to go pee. ; ) We went to Sawmill Banquet in Edmonton. The food was amazing. They had seafood and prime rib buffet and chocolate fondue (with Grand Marnier, Creme de menthe and Malibu coconut Rum) for dessert. I must've eaten 5000 calories but DIET was not in my vocabulary last night. There was a live band as well, the Blackboard Jungle. They were really great! Love the songs they sang. We were probably one of the few "younger" ones who stayed for the dancing. The band played songs like "Freak Out" and you should've seen the people on the dance floor move. They were probably in their 20s when that song first came out! Will and I sat a few songs, I just didn't know how to dance to "Sweet Home Alabama" you know? They finally played Katy Perry and Lady Gaga songs (Poker Face nontheless-probably for our sake) Will and I danced to that one! It's funny though, you should've seen the more "mature" ; ) dancers just stop and stare at the band not really sure about how to dance to these songs. Kinda like how we looked like when they played Shania Twain and Will and I had to two step. Anyway, it was a fun night! Great food, good music, met some new friends, got to dress up (and wear my pretty but awfully painful Louboutins)






He DANCED! and he wasn't even drunk!



They are NOT meant for walking, or dancing, or standing on. They are just meant to be on display on a shelf with spotlights. Not the most comfortable!
