Happy Valentines Day!

We have been enjoying the Valentine holiday for the past week. My girls are super excited about every single holiday and everything that goes with it, I wonder where they get it from. We made the girls their Valentines for school earlier this week, which was nice to have them done early. On Thursday night we went to dinner and had a heart pizza and a (free) brownie sundae for dessert, gotta love coupons. The kids loved it and Nate is sure NOT fun to take out to eat.

On Friday I had a bunch of friends over to enjoy a little Valentine Party. I made the yummy chicken bowtie salad from the Pasta Factory. We all sat and closed our eyes and dreamed that we were really in St George. We had the kids decorate cookies and play. It is always fun to get together and let the kids run wild while we talk. With 15 kids present we don't do it all that often at someones house, but the clean up wasn't too bad. Nate was SUPER into decorating his cookie. He loved the sprinkles and was very serious about it all, he didn't want to eat it after but when McKell got home from school she was excited to eat it with so many sprinkles on it.




It snowed Friday night so we went outside to play today. We had to make it a little bit valentiney by adding a red heart in the snow. Phil and I went out to dinner tonight with Jared and Robilyn. It is so great we had babysitting setup and husbands home. What a fun Valentines Day!

Cute pic of you and Phil! Sounds like a fun party you had. You are so brave! Where'd you get the heart pizza? Alexa thought it looked delicious!

Oh, and what bowtie salad? Is this something I need the recipe for? Please post!

Hey I am in St George and it is freezing. First B-ball Tourn. But it isn't snowing I guess that is a plus. I think I need that recipe too.

Thanks for all the fun Valentine's activities! That heart pizza does look good! Thanks for going to dinner with us on Valentine's day--it's always a treat to go out without the kiddos!

The question is which of your cute V-day pics are you putting in your 365?

Thanks for the cute photos. That brownie sundae looks good to me especially since I have been trying to lose a little weight.

Good times at the Brenchley's-as always! You always go all out, that is awesome. You always have the best lunch bunches too. Glad you were able to go out with Phil.
