Valentines Day Babyyy! BEST DINNER IVE EVER MADE!

Valentine's day was a perfect day.  Started off with baby girl sleeping in till 9:15ish then went to a good friends who also lives 2 town homes down.  Came back to a Beautiful rose bouquet sent by my hubbs to baby girl & I, they were beautiful.  Then started the prep for THE BEST DINNER IVE EVER MADE!  For real though,  im a carnivore fanatic.  I crave a big juicy steak or Prime Rib pretty much daily.  Zack & I's favorite restaurant is Fleming's downtown....amazing.  But super pricey usually about 150$ every time we go....since we went there for Zack's Birthday January 28th, I decided I was going to try to master those amazing Filet Mignon's they make.  So i looked online for hours finding the perfect recipe.  I will post the link at the end.  I was so excited to make this but kind of nervous.  I got 2 juicy 10 oz filets from a butcher, They were beautiful.  I also made red garlic crock pot potatoes and creamed corn.    The potatoes were to die for!!! Prob because they have cream cheese, sour cream, and butter all mixed in. YUM!  Cream corn is a family recipe that is so good.  So my hubbs came home to a gourmet meal,  which he loved.  I also got him a new button down shirt, phone cover, candy, plus I made a canvas with one of our wedding pictures with some words from the song we danced to at our wedding.  It turned out beautiful!  He got me roses, pedicure gift car, and Nordstrom gift card then got baby girl 2 cute outfits.  We are very spoiled.  He is the sweetest man alive and I am constantly reminded how lucky I am.  I feel like everyday is Valentine's when you are married to your best friend.  We also got a night out on the town Friday (day after) , we went to dinner & a movie...We haven't been to a movie since Batman so this was awesome!  Thanks Caitlin for watching baby girl:)  K so here is some pics of the dinner & canvas.  I will post recipe links as well. I am truly the luckiest.
