Valentine's

This year both kids had to make boxes for the many valentines they were going to get from their friends at school. I found a Lego box on Pinterest and knew it would be perfect for Andrew. Thankfully he loved it and it wasn't too hard to make (other than the blue spray paint that made my hands blue for a few days ;)). Ally decided she wanted to just put paper on the box and color the paper. Easy!

 



Turned out cute didn't they? Yeah, the kids are pretty cute too! This year Ally was super excited because in the middle of January a cute boy in her class asked her to be his Valentine. What?!? She's only in second grade! And no, her dad wasn't too thrilled about this. She was really cute about it all and was so excited telling me all about how he asked her and how she answered and on and on. I got a glimpse into the future, not sure I like it. Two days before Valentine's she came all excited because she saw the boy's older brother and he told her that the boy bought her a special valentine. Of course we had to go get him a special valentine too. Wow, girls really get into this stuff. Andrew told me the only thing he likes about Valentine's day is the free candy he gets. Here she is with her special valentine present.

 





















 This year our ward temple night fell on Valentine's day so Jim and I were able to spend the evening at the temple and then we went to dinner with some fabulous couples from our ward. Since we were gone the night of Valentine's we had our special family dinner the next night. It was more low key than usual but the kids were happy they got homemade rolls and sparkling cider. It was a great Valentine's day spent with many loved ones!!
