Valentine's Day

    We had a very laid back Valentine's Day this year.  Since it fell on a weekday, and taking care of a small baby takes a lot of my time, we cut back on the festivities a little this year.  The kids got to have pink milk at breakfast.  They were excited to pass out Valentines to their friends at school.  They had class parties at school which I am told were a lot of fun.  After school, the kids came home to some special treats.  They got a little chocolate and some other fun surprises.  The kids had a heart shaped pizza for dinner.  I made Joey and a tasty dinner of chicken and asparagus.  We ate dinner in the dining room and got to have a special treat of sparkling cider with our dinner.  We didn't play minute to win it this year, but we did play some Apples to Apples which always has us in stitches.  We finished the night with amazing sugar cookies from a local bakery.  While it was low key this year, it was still a nice day.

I think his goal was to squeeze on as many sprinkles as possible.

Playing Apples to Apples.  This game is definitely our favorite.  

Ashlyn and Joey worked really hard on her Valentine's Day box.  It turned out so cute.
