Valentine's Day

I am not a huge Valentine's Day fan. I guess I really don't see the purpose in a day to celebrate your love for everyone. Isn't that what we should be doing everyday? In all honesty, it would mean a lot more if Steve just showed up with flowers on a random day than on the day that he is "suppose" to. Maybe I am just a scrooge, but that is my feelings.

Even though I don't love the romantic things of Valentine's, I do love an excuse to do something fun with the kids-see I should really be doing that anyways. My kids have been deprived of sweets lately. I have been doing a Biggest Loser Competition to loose all the baby weight and haven't had any of their favorite/my favorite treats in the house. So I decided to make some sugar cookies and let them decorate them.

So we invited some cousins over (have I mentioned that is why I love living close to family. My kids best friends are their cousins. I love it!) And all the kids decorate heart cookies.

Kate-yes she is naked most of the time:


Zack:


This was his first year taking Valentine's to his class. He loved how much candy he got. But he said his favorite part of the day was Mom coming to class to help with the party.


Josh wouldn't let me take a picture of him. So this is the only one I have of him.


After cousins left, we had pizza for dinner and then watched a movie together as a family. See we are big partiers.
