Happy Valentine's Day

 Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!!

We had a fun family day on Valentine's this year. Teage spent the evening before decorating the house with hearts for our whole family with family sayings on them, like "Famachee!" The boys thought it was really fun to wake up to all of those fun hearts.

They also had the pleasure of doing a Valentine's party in their classroom, which Emery and I attended as well. I couldn't believe how much fun she had as well. She was walking around the classroom like she owned the place, following her brothers around and trying to do all of the crafts and games with them. Pretty adorable. The boys had an absolute ball. They had different stations around the room with cookie decorating, games, card making, and more. All of the kids rotated stations while us parents helped to facilitate each one. The boys were laughing and smiling the whole time. Then they all got to eat their cookies and take home huge bags of Valentines that their classmates had given them.  When we opened their bags at home, they kept saying things like "Wow! Our class must like us a lot!!" Pretty darn adorable!!!

 That night Teage said he would make dinner, so I made him a special dessert. Tres Leches cake from scratch, just like they make it in Mexico (where he served his mission). It actually turned out really well, and he LOVED it! I was so happy!!!

And...my husband the sweetheart, thought to get a dinner that was special to us for that night also. Our very first date was exactly 10 years prior, on Valentine's Day, Feb 14th 2003, and we went to a little Italian restaurant in Bellingham for dinner. I ordered a chicken Cesar salad, and he had the Fettachini Alfredo. So, for dinner, guess what he got? Cesar salad and Fettachini Alfredo! I was completely surprised! I had no idea that he was going to do that for me, and it made my day. We also got to tell the kiddos about our first date, which was fun as well. Overall, a really fun night with our family just celebrating all of the love in our house! :)
