We had a good Valentine's Day. The kids enjoyed making Valentines for our family and Kimball was more than thrilled with his Valentine party at preschool. It brought back memories to see him looking through all of his Valentines. He was so excited about each one and had to tell me who they were all from.
We always try to make Valentine's Day a family holiday and not just a couple holiday. The kids were so excited about their pending presents that we opted to open the Valentine gifts before dinner. I love that the kids are happy and content with gifts that don't cost a lot of money. Hopefully they are learning that we can express our love for each other through small gifts and homemade Valentines instead of having to spend a ton of money so we look like we love each other.
We had a nice dinner and then I made a new cake recipe for dessert. It was a dark chocolate cake with a ganache frosting. It was really good and it is always nice to have the intense chocolate flavor of ganache.
Last week Joseph was on overnight call so during the day he and Kimball went snowshoeing together. Kimball was SO excited to go snowshoeing with Joseph. Kimball loves his dad and since Kimball knows Joseph thinks snowshoeing is awesome Kimball naturally thinks it is as well. Joseph said Kimball was a "natural" when it came to walking in the snowshoes. They did a mile loop together and had a lot of fun.
