Beta Club Induction #2

Rebecca was invited to join the Beta Club at school. We are very proud of her as this is for grades and character.

Rebecca was asked to be the person who received the official keys. The current officers passed them on to her and she had a brief speaking roll!

Now that's a lot of metal!!! And we went through a lot of Advil, too!!!

Valentine's Day

I always like to make a big deal for my family for Valentine's Day - it's my opportunity to show my family how much I love them. Well, this year, the kids had orthodontist appointments after school and I'd had a very busy day so my nice dinner had to be altered. Normally we get out the fine china and have a fancy dinner.... not so much this year.

I heard that Papa Murphy's pizza (which is a take & bake place we'd never been to) was making $5 heart shaped pizzas. So we thought that would be fun. Well, of course nothing quite went as planned but we eventually made it home and had dinner.

So here are my pictures:

I substituted paper plates for our fine china. These are the pizza's before we baked them.

I made Red Velvet Cupcakes with a cream cheese icing - wow - they were soooo good!
