Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!  Our day started with pink pancakes and fresh from the farm roses.  Hannah had a Valentine exchange at school.  It was interesting because most of Hannah's classmates' parents are not from the US originally and don't celebrate or really know about Valentine's Day.  Her teacher had to send home a letter with detailed instructions about how the class would be celebrating.  After school we met up with friends at the park for a picnic and let the kids exchange more Valetines there.  After dinner we had our traditional chocolate fondue, which is super messy but always a hit with the kids.  I love that for us the holiday has turned into more of a fun day for the kids than a romantic holiday.

Andrea Visits

My sister decided to make a last minute trip to see us and escape the cold and inversion in Utah.  We mostly just hung out and talked and went to the beach.  The kids adored having her here!  So did I.  We miss you Andrea!






She helped Hannah make the coolest Valentine box ever!
