Sweet Sweet Day

Valentines Day was so much fun this year.

We went out to dinner with the Appah's and then went back to their house to play games with them and the Stewarts.

We ate delicious chocolate cake, and ice cream had a lot of laughs playing Cranium.

I am really grateful to have such fun friends where we can all be ourselves and have so much fun together.

It was a crazy week. We (Suzanne Stewart, April, Rachel (April's sister) and I) were in charge of the Adults only Valentines dinner for our ward.

We made it so cool and romantic-loved it-but so much work!

We did a formal Chinese restaraunt and the night before we spent about 5 hours hanging fishing line with paper lanterns and twinkling lights.

All the tables were decorated formally with china, stemware, tablecloths, cloth napkins, centerpieces-the whole nine yards.

We made all the food for it, I made this delicious angel food cake that Suzanne's aunt gave her the recipe for that I will have to make again-soooo much better than store bought! I also made the Thai lettuce wraps for the appetizers, yum!

The young men were all dressed up with long aprons like waiters and seated and served everyone-it was like the real deal.

Suzanne's acapella group sang and were just fantastic.

These pics I stole off April's blog-it was awesome-by far the best church function I had ever attended or even heard about!

Saturday morning we had a primary activity-and although it was pretty low key-it was still a stress hanging over me until it was done and over. Love the primary!

SO when Valentines evening was finally here-we were able to celebrate for more than just being in love-which of course is enough of a reason, but it was so nice to have had such a busy, hard and yet so successful weekend over and finish it off with such a great night.
