Happy Valentine's Day!

Our Valentine's celebration was spread out a bit over the week due to Ez's busy schedule, but it has been so fun!

Wednesday night Ez came home around midnight, and he greeted me with a dozen beautiful roses! It was such a sweet surprise.

On Friday, Alexis and Lily had a few friends over to make some Valentine's goodies. We had a last minute cancellation due to illness, but four friends joined them in frosting and candy-ing goodies. I didn't want to make sugar cookies this time, so I mad a bunch of mini cupcakes, some brownies, and rice krispie treats. There were tons of goodies for the number of girls we had, but everyone got to make and eat and take home a ton of stuff! The girls also ate pizza and had a fun time playing.

Saturday was Valentine's Day and I was glad that Ez's gift came in the mail--it got here on time! I got him some fudge from the Nauvoo Fudge Factory--Rocky Road and Maple Walnut. I'm afraid the Maple Walnut wasn't the best choice, he doesn't love it, but it is all still good! We took the kids out to lunch at In-n-Out and then Ez has to head to work.

Today we had the missionaries with us for dinner and we had our nice Valentine-ish meal. Ez grilled some steaks, and we had asparagus, baked beans, and rolls. Then we had brownies and ice cream for dessert. It was absolutely delicious!

We have had a nice weekend. The kids are off of school tomorrow, so it would be fun to find something fun to do. It was been raining pretty much non stop all day, so the parks will be out. It guess we will see if we get creative or if we just stay indoors!
