On Monday evening Thomas, Natalie, Cali, Ashton, Weston and Ben came over to our house for an early Valentine's Day party. We had dinner and played a few games. We had fun, and it seemed good to have some of our family here to help us celebrate.
 |
| We started our party with dinner. The main course was manicotti which has been a family favorite for as long as I can remember. |
 |
| One of our games was "How many hearts can you steal." We had to use chop sticks to "steal the hearts" from the bowl. I wasn't very good at it. Thomas was the winner hands down. |
 |
| I made sugar cookies for dessert, and everyone seemed to enjoy them especially Cali and Ashton. |
 |
| We made two cute little Valentine decorations. One was a monkey and the other one was a frog. This kept us entertained for quite a little while as we glued our masterpieces together. |
 |
| After school on Tuesday, Steve and I went to the movies to continue our Valentine's Day celebration. |
 |
| We saw "The Vow." It was a love story, but I didn't like how it ended. I'm sure this wasn't Steve's favorite, but he was a good sport about letting me pick the movie. Thanks to my great husband for pampering me! |
 |
| After the movie, Steve and I went to Panera Bread for dinner. It was yummy as always. As the day winds down, I hope all of my family wherever they might be had a great Valentine's Day celebration too. I also hope they all know how much I love them! |
