Valentine's Boxes

Boys and Girls are just born different. That is the only explanation. William was told he needed a Valentine's box this year, and his first reaction was...yuck! Ellie quickly sat down to the table, and planned her creation. I had to tell William that he could make a box of whatever he wanted; it didn't have to be just hearts, and this is what he came up with...a shark jumping out of a Valentine's box, which looks like (in this picture) he wants to eat Ellie's cupcake. Boys and Girls!

Valentine Party in Ogden!

We had lots of fun partying with Grandma, Grandpa, Tracy and Lauren the weekend before Valentine's. We decorated sugar cookies...with a strict no double-dipping policy. Check out the picture of our frosting genius. The cookies of those who did double-dip (William and Harper) were omitted from the public tray display, and fed only to the corresponding creators. Then we played a rousing game of pin the heart on the dog's nose. It was laughable, but the best was Grandma positively sure that Tracy was steering her in the wrong direction. Amidst the girl's "Fashion Show," and William watching Lord of the Rings fight scenes over and over...a fun weekend was had by all. Perhaps the best was taking Ellie to see New Moon with Tracy. It wasn't quite as fun without all the hooting and hollering over Jacob, like the first time I saw the show, but all the "old" women must have been at a different show that night.
