Happy Day of Love!

These first few pictures don't actually have anything to do with Valentines Day but a few weeks ago we took a trip to the Springville Art Museum.  Aside from the high school show which is always fun to see they had this awesome exhibit by James Christensen and his two daughters.  His daughter Emily was friends with my sister in high school and his other daughter Cassandra taught art at our school.  It was cool to see all their works together.  They are truly talented people!!

 They had a little area set up where kids could create some art.  Sophia had a fun time creating this tissue paper rose.
Last Sunday we had a fun time creating valentines for cousins!

This week at preschool Mabel was the "Beshel Friend" again.  Her she is singing the special friend song.  
 It also happened to be her Valentine party at preschool.  The kids all decorated their boxes and then handed out Valentines.
 They also got to decorate cookies!
 More random photos.  Sophia created this lovely out of playdough and needed it documented apparently.
 And back to more Valentine photos.  Here's the girls with their hair all in hearts ready to go to school!
I got to go and help with Lilly's party at school which was a lot of fun! One of the mom's brought stuff to make Love Bugs
 I thought they turned out super cute!
 We also shot Cupid's arrow through a heart.
 Post-valentine exchange.  The kids were examining all the goods!
After that fun party I came home and set up a fun candlelight dinner for Doug and I.  The candles and vase in the center all came from his Grandma Ivins.  The roses that are in the vase are paper roses that Doug gave me for Valentine's day many years ago.  Such a fun addition to the table!
 Some yummy appetizers and treats waiting for Doug to get home.
 This year we decided to make dinner at home.  I think it's something I think we'll do every year! It's just way to crazy to go out!  On the menu was steak and Chicken Bryan.  I think we'll make the Chicken Bryan every year too.  It's so good!

Doug got the girls these cute socks.  So thoughtful.
 After our yummy dinner (the kids had pizza) we let them have some chocolate fondue with us.  It was yummy!  I think they all approved and are actually having the leftovers as we speak.
