I love Valentine's Day! What a fun day to celebrate love, friendship and kindness. Our week started out Sunday with a fun Valentine's dinner, it has become a tradition now. We had a candlelight dinner with china and crystal. The menu was, rib eye steak, boiled buttered potaoes, garden fresh salad and texas toast. We finished off the day by making heart shaped sugar cookies and having a decorating contest. The kids helped with the baking, rolling and cutting out of the cookies. I made enough frosting for 20 bakeries. We had several colors and the categories for the contest were: originality, most candies used and most colors used.
Our winners were:
Dad won for most colors used.
Jacob won for originality
Abigail won for most candies used.
We had a messy, fun time and it also included a Family Home Evening Lesson on the history of Valentine's day and a short lesson on Christ like love. Can't beat some good ol' family bonding time!
