V-Day

Meghan and I are celebrating Valentine's Day by going out to dinner next weekend.  So tonight Meghan had some creative ideas for how we could celebrate as a family.  She made some heart-shaped homemade pizzas, and she also made some pink hummus, which was a recipe we got from our friend Carla.  It's made from beets, so I was skeptical, but it turned out to be really good.  For dessert she hand-made some cookies, but just enough so we'd each have one (though she made a second one for Clara since her first one was so small).  Hannah wasn't going to eat hers, of course, so I sacrificed and ate it, since someone had to handle that task.  We were trying to limit the kids' sugar before bedtime, or I would have given it to Joshua, as he was extremely excited about getting to eat cookies and then thoroughly enjoyed the one that was his.
