Valentine's Day

Our Day of Love happened one day early, with the school parties and our Stake Valentine's Dance. The kids loved their parties, and Eden was my little helper and tagged along with me. She is adored by all of the kids. Its funny to me that she is such a novelty to most of the kids in the school, let alone the fact that I am carrying around a little one and that I am going to have another one so soon!! In Peter's class a kid yelled out, "Your going to have another one!"

This time I didn't go into Joseph's class...and he was so disappointed....His teacher came up to me when I went to pick him up to warn me that he was really upset because he kept saying that his mom was in the school and that she was going to come to class, even though I told him I wasn't going to be able to. Being the party mom for Hannah's class makes it hard to leave in the middle to go to other classes. I will have to make sure that next time we go and eat lunch with Joe before the parties start.

The kids enjoyed all the Valentines and goodies from school and home that they were able to partake of. Valentine's Day just isn't Valentine's Day without chocolate dipped strawberries!!

Alan and I went to the Stake Dance that evening....Alan did a fabulous job DJing it! Yes it is my fault that he was doing it, but he loved it and had so much fun!! He not only enjoyed the "performance" night, but the planning that led up to it as well. The theme was "Valentine's Through the Ages." Being the ballroom dancer that Alan is, he was able to play music that people who knew how to dance could do: swing, foxtrot, waltz, salsa, Chacha, etc., but for those that didn't know how to dance, they could still get out there and move and dance around. It was really interesting seeing the songs that people danced to and the one's they didn't. And the requests that people made that didn't ever cross our minds but would have been good...oh well it was a great night and we had lots of fun dancing!!


Happy Love Day!! Thanks for all your love!!
