(Santa brought me these wall stickers, which I put up in our bathroom.)
Holidays give reminders to create ways to love much!
We love Valentine's Day because
we love to celebrate!
The middle school ASB planned a Spirit day on Valentine's =)
Accordingly, Natalie decked out!
(The hot pink neon shorts were so big that she could wear them
over pink cords; but those shorts were just too perfect to pass up!)
Annaliese, Evan and Aaron all celebrated at
school with class Valentine/or gratitude parties!
Lots of treats and sugar!
Nathan and I went to a get-together on Valentine's
at one of the homes of a child in his Primary class.
Though he opted out of both craft projects =)
No bag decorating or cookie making for our child!
The remote control train set was much more enticing =)
He did bring home this very cute Valentine's balloon though!
I picked up a heart-shaped pizza and a s'mores dessert pizza
for dinner from Papa Murphy's for the kids.
Then I was off to meet Sheldon at the Marysville Opera House.
We went to the Valentine's wedding/dinner of a co-worker.
We normally don't get anything extra-special for the kids,
since we've always told them it's just extra-special for Mom and Dad!
However, I found super cute stuffed animals at the after-Valentine's
sale last year for the kids this year... =)
(My Valentine flowers from Sheldon on the table =)
He most likely won't wear the Valentine tie to church that I gave him =)
But I just couldn't pass it up!
(There may be an occasion some time to wear a black tie with a red lip pattern??)
Natalie & 2 of her girl friends each received a rose the day after Valentine's from a mutual friend at school.
(He had forgotten them at home the day before =)
That evening I was able to go with the girls for Annaliese's 1st youth baptism trip!
I had gone with Natalie on her 1st trip also, when she turned 12.
(That was the YW President's idea at the time =).
We had a wonderful evening with our ward's youth and leaders in the House of the Lord (the Seattle Temple)!
Love all of the fun Valentine's surprises and activities! Now I'll just be waiting to see Sheldon in that tie!! =)
ReplyDeleteAnnaliese looks so grown up in that last picture! I love your new wall stickers, and I love how many festive touches your 2 days had. Fun for Natalie to receive a Valentine rose. =) With such a festive Valentine's Day this year, next year will probably be pretty tame. =) {Unless you were out planning yesterday for next year? ;)}
ReplyDeleteLove that last picture! 3 beautiful girls!! We got the same heart-shaped pizza on Monday too. :) You guys always have such fun ideas for making the holidays special!!
