Valentine's Day with just Us!

It was so nice of Ryan to arrange for us to have dinner at Roy's tonight.  It's one of our favorite spots to dine.  And even better now in Anaheim because it's pretty low key and mellow.  He had reservations for 5:30pm so it was an early dinner for us which was nice so that we didn't have to get home too late to relieve the Grandparents since they watch our girls so we could have a nice dinner together.  Thank you!  I don't think we've had dinner with just us since our wedding anniversary last year in July.  Sad! 

I know we're cheesy but had to get a picture of us at Roy's on V-day!  The ambiance was super nice for the occasion and they had it decked out for the holiday.  It was pretty crowded when we got there and thank goodness for reservations since we got seated right away.  There was quite the crowd waiting too.  They had a special dinner menu tonight which was excellent!  We started off with some wine and then you'll see the rest of the meal below!
I started with the scallop appetizer which was delicious!  Then followed by the pear, walnut salad.  And then it was time for the main course, the seared ahi!  It was yummy!
Ryan had yummy Kobe beef sliced super thin with a yummy marinade followed by the lobster bisque, which he said was only okay.  I think it was a little too potent for him.   Then he had a great looking fillet!  

For dessert, I had the red velvet cake!  So, so yummy and so, so cute!  Ryan special ordered the chocolate souffle since that's his favorite there so we took his dessert home to the Grandparents as a thank you for watching our girls.  They got some yummy chocolate truffles!  What an awesome evening with just the two of us!  We thought about a movie afterwards but got too tired and wanted to get home to our girls!  It really meant a lot to me that he took me out.  Simple as that!  I'm an easy gal and it doesn't take much.  Just some quality time will do it!  We don't do gifts or anything since neither one of us needs a thing.  Happy Valentine's Day!
