A Late Valentine's Recap

We had a wonderful Valentinte's Day! The morning started with our 2nd annual homemade cinnamon roll breakfast (I forgot to take pictures) with pink juice. YUM! And Bill surprised me with 3 dozen yellow roses, a balloon, and some chocolates- all with a sweet note attached. Then after we opened a little Valentine gift from grandma & grandpa and mom & dad, we got ourselves ready & went to a friend's house to decorate sugar cookies & make Valentine's cards for our daddies. As you can see, both of my girls thoroughly enjoyed the frosting, but Madisen did manage to get 4 cookies frosted.

We met Bill at In-N-Out for lunch= a Valentine treat for daddy! Then the girls & I ran a few errands before heading home to teach piano, have dinner & make the final preparations for the adult Valentine Day party that we co-hosted.

Onto the Valentine Party- it was SO much fun! My friend Janet throws a party for couples every year. It was complete with heart name tags, door prizes (see below), carving your initials on the tree (also see below), a few 'games', a slow dance, and the best part of all... a poem written by the husbands, and of course some good eats. I was lucky enough to have Bill play a song that he'd written for me on the guitar. It was FABULOUS! The poems ranged from funny to fantastic to sappy & we learned about some hidden talents (Dennis & Elliot).
