Valentines Day!

This is the picture the kids took for Steve's Birthday
Savannah put it in a frame for his Stake Presidents office



We had our traditional valentines day - We set the table with candles and heart plates and everyone gets their own personal pan pizza.  Steve feels like he should be the best valentine for his girls.  So he gives all the girls a charm for their bracelets. He gives them each year something to remember the year by.   Until they get married and have thier own valentine.  He had been doing it for about 7 years now.  This year he gave

 Grace - Two people riding a ski lift, because she became such a good skier this year.
Savannah - Eiffel tower, because of her trip to Europe.
Lauren - a Surfer, because she was the first to surf behind the boat.
Jackie - A gondola , because Venice was her favorite place in Italy.
Me - a speed boat, because I am wicked good (teenage talk) at driving the boat.

Derek of course does not have a bracelet  I get to give him a valentine and so he just got some boring ol' game for the xbox called ROCK BAND!!!!   The kids love it!   It is so fun.  They played it all night.  Savannah is really good on Vocals!  
Now we are off and running for the weekend.  Derek has a Basketball Tournament in Walla Walla Washington. So we are there tonight and tomorrow.

That is such a great tradition, with the bracelet charms. Here's a shout out for Rock Band, too. I've been contemplating getting it, but I don't have time for that kind of addiction right now! Ha-ha!

You guys are AWESOME! It was great to see you in Medford! :)
