We had our family Valentine’s party on the 12th, since the 14th was a Sunday. In the morning, I did the girls’ nails.

In the afternoon, we decorated heart cookies. We invited our neighbor who is one of Isaiah’s close friends to join us.

Late afternoon the kids made their heart-shaped pizzas. It takes a while to cook 5 pizzas!

We had a heart-shaped carrot cake for dessert. Then we exchanged cards – one of the highlights of the evening. Everyone puts a lot of time into designing his/her cards for each other.

This year we tried something new for our evening event. We all participated in a Valentine’s art class (see picture at top). I forgot to take a picture of the one Josh and I did together. Afterwards Josh read the story of St. Valentines.

It was Micah’s first Valentine’s Day!

The next day was Saturday and we had our neighborhood Bible Club. We didn’t say a thing about Valentine’s Day, but we did decorate heart-shaped cookies with the kids for snack.
