Michael did his weekly Jamboree and made us yummy crepes with the new pan that my bro and his wife brought back from Belgium.
Swirly heart straws sent by Duke grandparents. We used the last of the heart plates that I got on after holiday clearance 2 years ago. Such cute plates, I will miss them.
Collecting of the balloons
So many fun games to play with balloons....Michael even gets into it...
He was rubbing it against their clothes to see how many he could stick to them at one time.

In the afternoon, my friend Jessica and I went to get a pedicure. It was part of getting ready together for our big night out with our husbands. Not lovin' the angle for me here, but documented nonetheless.
We had our next door neighbor, Moriah, come babysit for the first time. Why didn't I think of that earlier? She brought lots of activities and as we waited for our friends to arrive, we left them (and I snapped a quick picture) to play with the stencils that she brought. She is going to be on the drill team next year in high school, so I hope she'll still have time for us every once in a while. She was great, and her mom said she was so excited to be asked!
Our friends met up at our house (we were the central location) and I asked Moriah to take a few pics of us. Liz and Reed on the left, Jessica and Chris on the right of us.
Awwww, just like prom, right? We toyed with going out to eat, but when the church offered a free meal for us, we couldn't pass it up. Somewhat anti climactic to get ready side by side with your date. I laughed to the girls that as I was trying to straighten my hair in the bathroom, I had to leave when Michael steamed it all up with his shower.
It was also Liz's birthday--how fun to have a Valentines birthday!
Kissing faces helps thin out my face....they obliged me.
A dinner was served to us--fajitas/tacos. Michael went back to get me seconds...and thirds. Hey--they only gave out one at a time.
I tried to secretly grab some pictures of my friends dancing, but with my little camera delay and the flash, it was tough. Chris and Jessica actually posed for this one...it makes me laugh!
Another non pleasing angle of me, but I'm all over showing myself in the good, bad, and ugly. I like us dancing and laughing here. Michael did a great job and actually danced a few faster songs with me.
Jana and her date, Cameron, who turns out was ALSO in Jerusalem with us.
Stacy and Dan twirled around the dance floor...
Girls fast dancing....
boys watching us dance...
Michael and I at the end of the night with 3 heart balloons to take home to our kids. It was fun to dance with each other again, its been a while. We reminded ourselves once again that we want to try to take a couples dance class.
He got me my favorite Valentines treat--chocolate covered (not just dipped) strawberries. I got him a bag of snickers snacks. We don't do much with gifts, but we do enjoy going out on dates.

I think V-day will be more fun with kids to celebrate it. i got cute valentines from my nephews. You look cute. When are you due again?
Your hair looks fabulous and you, once again, make me sad that I don't live near you...even though you know I wouldn't have been down with the dancing thing. I love you getting jiggy with it all prego-ed up!! You are too fun.
How fun! I love dancing! You look great by the way. I remember a v-day party at the Newark ward where you took pics, I still have on of Michael and Janey in front of a cute backdrop!
Perfect V-day for ya--going dancing. :) I'm glad that y'all like the pan!! We were so worried because we couldn't find any with dimples. I seriously love how much stuff you do for your kids to make holidays special.
What a fun Valentines date. Our ward didn't do anything for V Day. Oh well. I love the pictures and I think you look great Kristen!
how do you get so many great shots on these outings?? I either don't bring the camera or I'm too shy to take pictures or bring the camera and forget all together. Can't believe you are into your third trimester! You look great!
i love the pic of chris & jessica dancing. too funny!
I forgot to post my comment when I saw this post earlier. The pictures totally make me want to get up and boogie! I love the yellow walls is that new?
Amy--I used to be a bit embarresed to take pics of my friends. But I finally decided I needed this side of my life documented just as much as I need my kids.
Tamiel--the yellow is not new:)
That looked like so much fun! And don't feel bad about eating the extra's - you're pregnant and you can blame almost everything on that!
Is that Cameron Scott? What a cool guy. If you see him again tell him hello. He was a good friend of mine from the single days.
Glad you all had a wonderful valentines day!
How fun! Love your dress!
