Family Valentine

After church I told everyone to stay in their church clothes for dinner.
They asked "Why?"
For a formal Valentine family dinner.

The kids all got excited to help me make the dinner, to decorate the table and hang the hearts. Kelsie wanted to eat the sweetheart candy that we had scattered on the table, so she would put them in pile and Jaron said that "they needed to be all over the table so that it will be beautiful." He was so excited about it, he was so cute. We are showing our sweetheart name cards that we made for our dinner.

As we were trying to get a good place to place the camera to do self-timer for our family picture. Jaron was trying out his poses and he really liked this one. Kallie and Jaron are both so cute, they were so excited for our family dinner. Maybe we should make this a tradition to do every year.

Karlee is so excited to be at the table with everyone else and drinking out of a normal cup.
No more sippy cup, okay maybe still when not at the table.

Kids enjoying their dinner and sparkling cider.

We gave each of the kids some chocolate for their valentines. They we all eager to eat it. Karlee was really excited to get it. She was trying to get them open faster then she could eat them. Her new thing lately is that she will ask you to do something and when you say no. She will say "Plleeeaassee" she draws it out and says it with a smile. Makes you want to give in say yes. She picked it up from Kelsie.

After dinner we taught the kids how to play Skip-Bo the game. Kyle and I played the game the whole time we dated and fell in love during. So seemed a perfect game to teach the kids to play on Valentines Day...

Hope that you had a Happy Valentines Day with the ones you LOVE!
