Happy Valentine's Day!

Little Eden has about 8 teeth and EVERY ONE of them is a sweet tooth! She's learned that the girls don't take very good care of their Valentine candy and can swipe it when they're not looking. She LOVES lollypops and anything chocolate. I decided to let her enjoy some chocolate in a controlled environment. Doesn't she look happy?

With Valentine's on Sunday, it's a great excuse to all wear red! Aren't we a cute family?
We're enjoying a nice 3 day weekend together. Steve got off early on Friday and we took Trax to SLC. (Free fare day!) We started at the Church History Museum's "I am a Child of God" exhibit. The girl's love it there! Then we went to Gateway mall and ate a nice picnic dinner at the food court. Last we went to Build a Bear to buy the girls a new outfit. We promised them a while ago that they could each get a new outfit if they got rid of 3 bags of toys. (And since we had gift cards, it made the whole evening FREE!)
Now the girls are watching Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and we'll have a sleepover in our room tonight. That's their number one reward choice for earning all their behavior pebbles. We all enjoy it and it's not that hard to pull off!

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's! We love you all! I'm grateful for my wonderful family and especially my terrific husband! We're just as in love - and more - on our 9th Valentine together!

Oh, Eden! That is a blackmail picture for sure! But she does look happy and contented. Chocolate does that to a girl.
And you are a darling family all dressed in red. And Steve, did you have a red tie? What fun traditions you are making. Sounds like the sleepover is a favorite of the girls.
And congrats on getting the tile laid!

That picture of Eden made us both laugh out loud. What cutie! She'd fit in well at our house with all of our chocolate lovers.

It's funny to watch Eden when Ella is having her snack. She follows Ella around like a little puppy dog! She knows that whatever Ella has has got to be good. :)

Wow, that's a picture for a Hershey's ad campaign! Who needs anything more than a good piece of chocolate?!
Cute pictures! And what's this, Steve didn't make the cut on the Valentine picture?! Was it a bad hair day?! Ah well, maybe next year Steve!

Adorable pictures, Kim! What beautiful ladies in red! Sounds like it was a very fun, productive, busy weekend. Love the chocolate covered adorable Eden- she takes after her aunt Lynnie! It was fun to come by and see your awesome new swingset. What cool parents you and Steve are- those are some lucky girls! :) I'm glad you and Steve are still in love. I still remember the day you called home and told us about him!
