Mr. Stannix and I originally made big plans to go out for Valentines day, but decided instead to stay home and cook a nice dinner together and save our money. Camilla surprised her Daddy with a cute little homemade card first thing in the morning. She was so proud of herself as she gave it to her Daddy. It was cute. I had to get a picture of it!
For dinner, Mr. Stannix cooked up his Grampy's Tacos. It's a famous family recipe and they are delicious! We spent a good 2 hours cooking them up together. The process is quite long. We had music going as we cooked and enjoyed watching Camilla be a goof and shake her little bum to the beat. Her favorite part was when Daddy would flip the tacos. She would hold out her hand and exclaim "Catch" while throwing her hand in the air. Flipping Grampy's Tacos is quite an art. Mr. Stannix only wrecked one taco this time around, it was impressive. Look really closely at the pro do it and you'll see the tacos in the air. They're very finicky, so this is the only way you can flip them. I, however, wasn't so successful. My taco flopped.
After the tacos are partly cooked, they need to cool on a towel, then you fill them with the meat and fold them over with toothpicks. When all the tacos are done, they are put back in the frying pan to make them nice and crispy! I couldn't wait for them to be done!
When we finished all the frying, we sat down and stuffed ourselves full of tacos. It was fabulous!
Camilla decided to get into the Valentines spirit by sporting the colors on her chin. The poor kid had a nasty encounter with her sippy cup and the floor. She tripped while heading for her nap. I was just glad she didn't knock any teeth out, but the picture really doesn't do it justice. It was far more purple and pink just before bed. She keeps touching and poking at it. Bruises feel funny sometimes. She was a trooper though and only cried a little.
Thanks for the fun date Mr. Stannix! I love you!
