Happy Valentine's Day!!!

We had a great day today! It started off with Robyn & LoriAnne getting their hair done in a heart shape (yes, my OCD problem with hair is getting worse). It was my first attempt at making hearts with hair so not perfect but they loved them.
Then my sisters family came over and visited. Carly & Emily stayed with us so they could spend the weekend here.
Three of the neighbor kids came over in the afternoon and we decorated valentine cookies. Then all 9 kids made heart shaped pizzas for dinner. I made the pizza crust the night before and I cut the pepperoni in heart shape the night before too. The kids had a great time together.

I french braided Robyn's hair into a heart shape.

Since LoriAnne's hair is still growing out from her chopping it off, I used rubber bands to make the heart shape.

The kids really got into the cookie decorating. I should have taken a picture of their finished products. This kept them occupied for a long time. I enjoyed watching them decorate their cookies.

LoriAnne was funny she just wanted to put pink frosting on with M&M's. She made it fast because all she wanted to do was eat it. She has an awful sweet tooth.

I did not get any really good pictures of the pizza's but this picture isn't too bad. I also had cut out the kids initials of their first name so after the pizzas were done we would know which pizza belonged to which kid.

Mikey enjoying his pizza. The pizza looks almost as big as him :)
