Does anyone make homemade Valentines anymore? I think Im done. After hours of 'helping' the girls with their valentines for school, I feel resigned to go the easy route from now on (I say this every year) after seeing all the store bought ones they bring home. Anyway, for the happy, lovey day this year, Ryan got some gorgeous roses for me, and some colorful flowers for the girls. What a nice Hubby and Dad. After spending the day eating half a box of chocolates, we went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner on Friday. Ryan did get a new cell phone, since his old one was from 1960, and he is gone so much with his calling, he needed to have a good 
one. So he should be e-mailing you with his new number, which now has a WI area code. Sorry. The next night we swapped babysitting with our friends so they could have their turn to go out, and we had fun making MORE valentines, and decorating heart cookies. I rented a valentines movie for them to watch, but of course, they chose to watch "Grandma got ran over by a reindeer" instead. Yes, the Christmas spirit is still alive at our house, unfortunately for Grandma. Here are some pictures of the cookie fun and the flowers. 
Madison and McKenzie or M&M as Madi calls them.
Katelin, Courtney and Sydney being silly and acting like robots.
Alissa and Brandon, making cookies that look like them.

The Valentines that Alyssa gave out were so darling though!!!
Pretty flowers!!!!
Looks like there was some baking going on at your house! As much as the mess sucks- the kids love it... that makes it worth it, Right??!?!?! :)
Glad to see fun was had by all, and that Ryan got rid of his OLD school phone, was it the kind that is about the same size as a saltine box? I think those ones were more 80's-ish!!!!! ;)
Ditto on Cheryl's comment--I loved the Valentine you, I mean Alyssa, gave Sara! :o) I don't know if I've ever made a homemade Valentine, maybe I should try it! I'm sure it's more memorable for the kids.
