Valentines

So I am going to try to back up and catch up a little. I wanted to post a few pictures of Valentines Day. Daniel and I got to go to the temple (even though I forgot my recommend, how embarrassing) and to a fancy resturaunt called Mitchells' Fish Market. It was fun to have some time alone but it seemed like most of our time around Valentines was spent getting the kids ready for their parties. With 3 girls and 2 parties each with an average 20 kids in each party that is 120 Valentine treats to get ready. This year I realized how much that really is. I thought it would be fun to make chocolate dipped pretzels with M&M's. I thought they were going to be super easy but it ended up being somewhat labor intensive.

 

We made four of these pans full. We didn't end up doing pretzels for all the Valentines, we broke down and bought candy for 2 classes.

 

Kyla made bookmarks for her church friends.

 

Daniel made the girls heart shaped pink pancakes and we let them sprinkle leftover M&M's on them with whipping cream.

 

I got chocolate roses at the $1 store, I thought the girls would enjoy them. I made them each a little card and Daniel gave them their tickets to the Daddy Daughter Dance.

 

Them were all very excited! It was a very fun Valentines, but next year I need to pay more attention to my honey (he is just so darn hard to shop for!).
