Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a great Valentine's Day this year. Being on a Saturday, we had the whole day to spend together as a family. We started off by having waffles, eggs, bacon, and juice for breakfast. Then we cleaned the house along with our normal Saturday routines. We made little treat bags for friends and neighbors that we delivered. Then that night we had planned a dinner with our friends, the Finlinsons and the Petersons. Liz had set it up so great, with a candlight dinner and all (She's always got it so put together, I'm a little envious.) She even set up a little table for the girls to sit at. We had pork tenderloin, with a honey dijon sauce, red potatoes, asparagus, and salad. Then we played the Newlywed Game while the girls bounced in Peterson's bounce house full of balloons. I had also made some simple, little Valentine crafts for the girls to do. We ended the night with a delicious desert that Liz had made...Chocolate Molten Cake. We put our girls in their jammies, and they were sound asleep by the time we drove down Peterson's street. It was a great day, and well spent with the ones that I love!

What a fun way to spend the holiday. I am a little jealous of all of you and your friend's creativity. I really need to be more on the ball.

What a fun Valentines Day! Your girls look darling in their red! I can't believe how long Audrey's hair is getting. I love it in that little clip. As soon as my kids get over their colds we should hang out.

We had a great time! Thanks for pulling it all together--after all, it was YOUR fabulous idea! P.S. It's YOU who's always so put together!!! I'm in the one in the t-shirt and ratty hair running around after Alexa and trying to keep food from burning! LOL.
