Valentine's Day

This is our Valentine's day post. I'm not a great journal writer so I wanted to make sure and remember this for myself because it turned out to be a pretty fun day.

A couple of years ago Charlie and I swore of Valentine's day as a romantic holiday after a few years of bad luck and interesting stories that I won't go into here so we now celebrate it as a family and keep it simple. In the morning I decided to go and get a few things for the day and ended up locking my keys in the car which goes along with my bad luck so I thought for sure the day would end in disaster but it didn't. Charlie came home and cooked a simple but delicious steak dinner for us.

Then we had a family home evening lesson on love and a few activities. The first one was spin the bottle. First we had a spinner with 6 numbers and each number corresponded with an action such as give a hug, give a kiss, say something nice etc. and then we would spin the bottle and see who would receive the action. The girls really loved that game.

We then sat in a circle and everyone massaged the person's foot on their left and then we switched and did the right. After that we decorated cookies and then called it a night. It was a fun family Valentine's evening.
