A Sweet Valentine Week

Our Valentine's signs and decor

This week has been so much sweeter than last week. Our entire family got sick with a stomach virus that left us feeling terrible and indoors all of last week. We missed many fun events. I am happy to say that we are ALL 100% better and thankful to be healthy again.

For Valentine's Day this year we decided to have a small party for our kids since the kids no longer have a class party where they exchange Valentine's with their classmates. We all made or bought cards for each family member, including Grandma and Grandpa who joined the fun. Allan and I bought the kids small gifts as well. Victoria and Nicholas helped decorate the dining room. We had a yummy chocolate fudge dessert and strawberries dipped in chocolate. Fun and laughter was had by ALL. It was a great evening and much needed after our previous week.

Last night, Allan and I had the opportunity to have a Valentine dinner alone. We went to The Elephant Bar and I had an Ahai Salad which was delicious. Afterwards, we decided to have some fun and had an hour of bowling. I must say I bowl much better on Wii. I had to use a kid bowling ball because of the weight of the ball. Allan beat me and he had to brag about it too. We had a really fun night together!
