It has been a Valentine's week! Last Saturday our ward had a Valentine's Party where I found myself knee deep in frosting, sugar cookies and supplies for making Valentine's. Tyler and McKenna were very helpful and had a great time making the frosting and cookies. The party was a lot of fun and very well put together by the activities committee. Tyler's favorite part was the icing, while McKenna was all over the place but mostly on the floor dancing!!! Aunt Shelly inspired us to do a few things to keep the spirit of the holiday including making (more) Valentine's.
McKenna had her Valentine's party at school today and made some fabulous stuff-she always comes home with great pictures and crafts she's done.

Grandma Harris arrived last Sunday and has been spending the week with us. I came to the realization that while we survive when Grandma isn't here, I'm just not sure how. We've been having such a great time with her-playing her new knock the cups down game, ponies, dolls, dress up, and even dancing with balloons- 
She also makes a fabulous "green drink" that after watching her and Tyler drink for about 6 months I have finally braved trying it and found that I like it. Who knew Spinach and fruit could taste so good?
My sister found the following quote which I really liked, well enough to share!
“You'll discover that real love is millions of miles past falling in love with anyone or anything. When you make that one effort to feel compassion instead of blame or self-blame, the heart opens again and continues opening. ” —Sara Paddison; author

oooh, share the recipe for the drink!
Recipe is Pretty simple actually: Lots of spinach, banana, water and then any fruit or veggie you want to add to that. Mix in Vitamixer or blender until smooth.
How fun! You are so festive. I'm extremely impressed. This year we didn't do a thing for Valentine's day because I was totally planning on being in the hospital. I wish I could have seen McKenna's dance moves. Too cute!
