Valentine's Day

One of our favorite family traditions is to decorate Valentines cookies or cakes for our friends and loved ones.  This year I made some giant heart sugar cookies and the girls got to decorate them for their friends.  We decorated them on Monday, for family night and then on Tuesday, Valentines Day, we delivered them to their friends.



 It was way cute how they all decorated their cookies.  Lizzy was going to put 20 Hershey kisses on one, so we kind of had to steer her a different direction.
 Russ and daddy had fun just chillin, watching the girls.

On Valentine's Day, I wanted to make something special for the girls.  So I made them a really special Dinner with mini heart pizzas and a special pink drink and heart jello.  I decorated the table and put decorations and balloons out.  Lizzy was so thrilled with the whole thing and thought it was so special.  She kept saying "Thank you so much mom! You are the best!"  Nellie didn't seem to care all that much, she just kept asking when I was going to give her a present.  Big shocker with Nellie.  She also didn't touch her meal, and we discovered that she had eaten ALL of her candy she had gotten from school already in the short time she had been home from school.  We really have to be careful with Nellie because she will easily overdose on junk.  She has NO self control.  I of course didn't get any pictures of the meal but oh well, maybe next year.
