Valentines Day 2011

All things pink, red, heart, cherry and chocolate made for a great heart day in Jamesnia.




Lucy wanted to take my picture since I had pink on. This may be the first pic I have of me holding a carrier, which has been a pretty common sight over the last 9 years.

More photos by Lucy. I am getting good at holding two sweethearts at once.

home "heart attack" idea I found on this blog

Each family member writes what they love about the other family members on a heart and they are displayed on the walls.
Some favorites:
Camille - I love Lucy becus rockstar
Kilian - I love mom because she copies some good recipes (meaning I don't ever make up any original recipes. He wanted "to be honest" he said.)
Lucy - I love Camille becus she is yong.
Brad - I love Genevieve because she saves all her poopy diapers for when only mom is around.
Everyone loved hearing nice things about themselves. We will be certainly be making this a tradition. Can you tell what is different between the picture above and the picture below?

Cannot ever have enough hand print art!

Kilian cut out the heart shape

He sure values originality (see comment about my cooking above). He also didn't want to buy valentines for friends. He cut out hearts and folded and stapled them to make little pouches for Hershey's kisses instead.

Now I know that food always looks gross in pictures unless you have proper lighting (and a better camera). Well Lucy invented chocolate stew and by the time Kilian talked her into some finishing touches...believe me. This picture does do it justice.

I never tried it, but Brad did. I was thrown by the hot spice tea mix and banana chunks. Lucky for me, Lucy wrote out her recipe so she could recreate it any time I'm ready to try it.
