Valentine's, the super bowl and Jim's birthday

 

We did a spur of the moment thing for Valentine's day.  We both had to work, but then we made sugar cookies and ate at Waffle Love.  It was yummy and fun.  Ada found some coupons and Jer turned 9 waffles into 17... They were running a promotion that for every two waffles you get a coupon for a free waffle later... It was unexpected and fun. So now we'll have another family date night sometime.



Seth and I made this valentine's box for his class valentine's exchange.  They didn't really do a party because they had a field trip to watch the play The Cat and the Hat at the Scera.  I asked Seth how it was and he said, "It was good." It was fun making the box with him.  

We made our yearly cousin valentines.  One year we made them and I was going through a funk and didn't get them out... so we saved them to send the next year and then and I were both in a funk and we both forgot.  This year we made it though.

Grandma and Grandpa asked if we'd like to watch the superbowl with them.  We said sure.  We're not big sports watchers, but if it's with Grandpa then yes!  McKay's family was going to come too, but they all had the flu.  The kids facetimed Grandpa to talk smack during the game.  

Seth, Ellie and Walter built this epic fort.  Ellie had a baby doll in there and kept telling people not to wake it up.

It was Jim's birthday.  He turned 77.  He joked that he loved turning 7 so 77 was just as good.  Jer, Ada and I made him a model rail car of Porco Rosso's wrecked plane being shipped to Italy.  Jer did most of it, and it looks amazing.  I got him a Japanese Book of Mormon.
