Happy Heart Day!

I know, I'm playing catch up once again, but that's just how I am I guess! Love it or leave it! We started off the festivities on Wednesday since that's when Asia's party at preschool was. She even put all of the names on her valentines all by herself. She loves to write words and read books. What a little smarty. Totally different than her big brother. Although, Ethan put all of the names on his valentines too this year. And he didn't even complain! Big change from last year!

Anyway, Asia decided she wanted to have me put hearts in her hair for her preschool party. I tried, but didn't have enough time to get it quite right. Also, not enough time for a picture. Oh well. We tried again on Friday with her friend Mara. It turned out better this time.




Later that afternoon we invited some of the kids' friends and we decorated heart cookies. They were so yummy! It's become kind of a tradition now I guess. Fun times.






Valentine's Day was a fun day, especially since it was on a Saturday. Mike and I went out Friday night so we could spend the whole day with the family. We started out with yummy heart shaped huckleberry pancakes.




Then I HAD to cut the boys' hair. They were all getting some unruly mops. Then I got to go shopping with my friend Emily. Kohls was having 25% off their clearance so I got a couple of things 80% off and then 25% off that. I found some great deals and had great company. I got back in time to do my neighbor's hair for the sweetheart dance at the school. Then my neice called and needed her hair dome too. It's fun to do hair. I should've went to hair school. Maybe later.

Anyway, then we went to Dave and Emily's for a night out with the kids. I made heart shaped pizzas for the kids and we had a lovely steak and potato dinner. Then we watched the 3-point shoot-out and the slam dunk contest. It's crazy what these guys can do with a basketball, especially the little short dude! Unbelieveable! So, all-in-all a fun, low-key v-day. Just the way we like it! :)

Asia's hair turned out so cute. It sounds like you guys watch the same things we did for Valentine's Day. Those Basketball players are pretty amazing!!
