We made valentine pizzas - you can't see it very well, but the pepperoni is heart-shaped.
We also did these cute bees and bears.
Jared decided to make valentines for his class, but waited until the night before to make them. I told him to find something on-line that he could do and make them. He decided to make little paper boxes, and we had a bunch of suckers that we were going to put in each one. However... he carefully folded all the boxes, complete with lids, and then realized the suckers didn't fit. We searched around the house for something else that would fit in there, but we couldn't come up with anything. I had already been to the store that evening, and it was 10:30pm and I didn't want to go out again. So I decided to whip up some snickerdoodle cookies. I guess it would have been faster to go out again and buy candy at the store, but the cookies were cheap and fit well in the little box. I think it was about 11:30 by the time we got all done.
Nathan went the easy route and printed off tags that said "Happy Valentine's Day" and a sucker taped to it. Owen's class made their valentines during class time, so we didn't have to worry about those.
Valentine's Day was pretty low key. We went to church, which was a special regional conference, broadcast from Salt Lake City to most of the west coast. Before that began, there was 30 minutes for the local congregations to have the choir sing and a talk by the stake presidency. Nathan and I sang in the choir for that. Elder Renlund, one of the new apostles, was the main speaker for the broadcast.
Alex made chili and lemonade for dinner, and I made M&M cookies for dessert. Savannah let me curl her hair a little bit, although it wasn't holding the curl very well for some reason. Her hair is getting pretty long! She looked cute in her red dress.
