Valentines

We had a fabulous Valentines' weekend. I had kinda a blue week, probably pregnancy hormone related, but it all changed Friday when I received a package for Japan from this fabulous sister with plenty of Sembai (yes I have eaten a whole package already) and Japanese Poky sticks, valentines heart barrettes, for Miss L and this book from my mom. I felt very loved and I needed that this week especially. Here's the loot.



Saturday I finished these sugar cookies for the Primary and Young Women leaders without the help of the kids (I was determined if they were for someone else the kids couldn't put their fingers in them. Then Saturday night, Gary and I got a babysitter (who made cookies with the kids and valentines for us)...I love her, and we got to go to the LDS temple here.



Today was a relaxing Sunday with a great dinner, pine-nut couscous, green beans, sour-dough bread, pears, and Honey-glazed ham, compliments of the gift I got Gary...a blow torch (really for pottery, but works great for creme brulee and ham too). We played at the park and watched home videos. What a nice day.





Miss L and Little G helped me make chocolate- covered strawberries.
