Valentines

We had a great Valentines day. It actually started the day before with class parties. I was in charge of Justin's class party. They painted and decorated cookies and then we went outside and let them play "heart attack" which is sticker tag with heart stickers. The children loved it, but thought it was more fun to get me and Abigail than each other, so by the end we had the most stickers on us.

Emily had a Valentine Mystery Dinner with some of her friends. She thought Friday the 13th was the perfect day to do it. We purchased a mystery packet called "Mancy Crew". They had a wonderful time, and I was surprised at how well they stayed in character. One of the girls ended up being sick so I had to play one of the characters since I knew the one that was missing was the guilty one. They were able to figure out all of the codes and find the missing scroll all by themselves. They enjoyed eating chips and queso, tacos, and fried ice cream while doing it all. They also enjoyed a few rounds of hide and go seek in the dark when it was all over.

On Valentines Day we enjoyed our traditional breakfast of heart waffles. Jeff and I went to the temple and then out to eat later that day, while Emily babysat. We brought the kids home a pizza and their own small cartons of Ben and Jerry ice cream. I think it was a good day for everyone.
