A Little Valentine Celebrating

Leading up to the big holiday Max had a friend encouraging him to ask another girl to "be his valentine".  I'm still not sure what that exactly means or entails, but he decided to go with it and when we were at Target he picked up a nice heart box of chocolates with star wars on the front. :)
On the big day he gave it to her and he got a hug in return.  One of his friends came to school with a dozen roses his mom got him, and handed them out to several different girls.  Made their day I'm sure.

On the home front I went with a traditional ribs dinner, with something called hasselback potatoes, spinach salad, chocolate dipped strawberries and lemon curd tartlets, with sparkling applejuice to drink. It was fun, but I think heart shaped pizzas would have worked just as well and benn 1/3rd the price...so next year we'll go with pizza.

Reed printed out cute valentines for everyone. He also brought home some yummy frozen yogurt bars, a box of chocolates and some tulips for all of us.  He surprised me with a trip to the BYU MOA while the kids were at school.  They have a special exhibit of loaned artwork of Christ there.  It was amazing.

Reed helped me trade out books at the school which he took to cooly, despite the fact he had never done it before.  They were done in time for me to go help with Hadley's class party and then enjoy a little karaoke in Sam's class party.

Jadey and Livvy wore black...kind of funny.  She went with her friends to the boys basketball game and then with Aunt Kelly for Sushi.
