Valentine's Day

Since we have a new computer, I'm hoping blogging will be so much easier! It has to be, since I uploaded pictures from our camera in SECONDS! (However, today I discovered other things on the computer aren't so easy-like we don't have Word, Excel or Powerpoint anymore. Ugh, off to the Apple Store I'll go Monday!)

* As a side note, it was NOT easy to upload pictures to blogger, which is why it has taken days to put this post up. One quick 45 minute One on One session at the Apple Store helped me to figure out how to export my photos from iphoto onto the blog, and now it IS easy!*

Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday! I love what it celebrates and I love showing my husband and the Foster kids how much I love them. This year's celebration include heart shaped pizza and strawberries

and a treasure hunt, which I found on Serving Pink Lemonade.

The clues were: Do you believe in magic wishes?
Head to the place that cleans your dishes.

Now I know that you're no fool,
This is where your drinks keep cool.


Maybe you have super powers
The next clue will be where Dad takes his showers.

Are you having fun with all these clues?
Look in a place that we keep shoes.

Now it's almost time to rest your head.
Look right inside the smallest bed.


In each spot there were either Hershey kisses, or Valentine Snickers (free from Walgreens!). At the end, there were some valentine books that I had gotten from Target after Valentine's Day last year on clearance.

We ended the family portion of our Valentine's celebration eating strawberry ice cream sandwiches, with chocolate cookies as the "bread." The cookies were soft and moist because I used a cake mix to make them. Needless to say, they were a big hit!
