We had a fun Valentine's Day around here- if "fun" means LOTS and LOTS of candy! I got to help decorate cookies for Elliott's class party, so we invited some of Ollie's friends over to use up the extras.
I just love how piled up the candy is. Some kids in E's class were doing double layers!
Ollie's cookie and he's still squeezing candy in wherever it will fit.
Elliott was so excited to pass out his valentines at school. Afterwards he loved going through them and showing me each one. His favorite was from Evalynn, and he gave her and Anikka the two biggest of his cards. Cute lil' first grade crushes.
Elliott's cookie from school- I was afraid they would all get smooshed on the way home, but Elliott's was still edible. (And eaten.)
Adam brought Outback takeout home for dinner- salmon and baked potatoes- so delicious!
Then for FHE we all wrote our names on a heart and took turns writing something we love about that person- we had to help them think of ideas for this one. Then we all wrote something we love about ourselves, which the boys had no problem with. Long lists of love. For themselves. Which is good right?
Then homemade chocolate covered strawberries and raspberries for dessert. I ate way too many of these!
White drizzle looks better, but Adam's not a fan of white chocolate... and they were for him so we did dark chocolate on the bottom and milk chocolate drizzle.
I loved this cute little valentine Elliott cut out for us. He sure knows the way to his momma's heart.
Happy Valentine's Day!
