Our LOVELY Valentine's

We had a lot of fun celebrating our love as a family this year.  I think this is one of our favorite holidays. The little ones and I met Ben for a middle of the day date while K was at school. That night I made heart shaped pizzas with veggies & heart ice in our strawberry crush soda. We also made jello jigglers...the kids LOVE them!

Sunday we made a fancier dinner and ate by candlelight.  Ben grilled a london broil and asparagus.  I made salad and twice baked potatoes to go along with it.  The kids helped me dip some strawberries for dessert. We always have a nice Valentine's FHE on the love of our Savior & talk about the scripture: For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, which I have printed a special way to write out Valentine. We also had a lot of fun making Valentines for each other, our far away family, and school mates.

Ben & I gave each other new backpacks for our Havasupai trek in May.  I wrote little love notes all over it...I love you to Havasupai & back, Honeymooners, etc.  We gave the kids a heart box of chocolates,  K a new Calvin & Hobbes book, D a new Waldo book, & Ruby a Dora hair set. We also gave them Just Dance for Kids on the wii...oh yeah!
