Valentine's Day

We had a good Valentine's Day.  The kids each handed out their valentines that we made. 

 Here was Benjamin's.  We added a glow bracelet to the light saber.  Benjamin was very pleased, and I think his teacher even said he wanted to do it next year.  We got the idea off of the internet.

This was Emma's. I put the card in a CD sleeve so it looked like a fish bowl and then added some swedish fish to it.  I was inspired by some off of the internet, but none that I saw did the fishbowl CD sleeve thing.  

Then the kids and I made sugar cookies in the shape of a heart for their dessert that evening.  Stephen got babysitters scheduled so that we could go out to dinner and brought me home some roses.  It was so needed and wonderful!  It was Sarah's first time being babysat, and she did great.  It was also so nice to not have to worry about her because she was in great hands at a sister in the ward's house.  We had a college-age girl come to babysit the other three at our house.  We had Thai food which was delicious.

Stephen took the only picture of the day of the kiddos.  I wish that I had taken more but -- such is life.
