Happy Valentine's Day!















This year we were so lucky to have Valentine's Day on Saturday, so we celebrated all day long! We started with donuts and little gifts in the morning and then headed off to Marky's last basketball game of the season. He got his trophy and proudly brought it home to join the others on the shelf. Then we had lunch and cleaned up the house and yard and the boys decorated. (There was lots of crepe paper!) After their hard work all the boys, including dad. took a much needed nap while I made sugar cookie dough. We had lots of fun making heart-shaped cookies, even though every surface in the kitchen got covered with flour. After a quick attempt at cleaning up, we headed to the Valentine's get together at church. They had salads and desserts, so that you could drop by and get a bite and socialize before going out with your sweetheart for the evening. I thought it was a pretty good idea, and the kids had fun running around with their friends. Soon we were back in the car heading to Me and Eds for heart shaped pizza! We had some friends over and the kids had a great time frosting cookies, eating pizza, and playing. It was a great way to spend Valentine's Day-family style!
