Heart Holiday

For Valentine's this year, we made our own heart-shaped pizzas. It is a tradition that began when Ryan and I were just starting to get to know each other 12 years ago. And now the kids love making their own pizzas, too!

This salad is my latest obsession: a re-make of Zupa's Summer Chicken Salad, made with strawberries and a homemade strawberry vinaigrette -- yum!

Elizabeth can say "pizza" very well -- it is one of her favorite foods!

Ryan and I heart-attacked the kids' doors the night before, so that they saw the hearts when they woke up. The boys thought it was cool, and Elizabeth loves pointing at them as we walk into her room. Each kid's set of hearts has their name on one, "We love you!" on another, and then a conversation heart-type saying on a third heart.

Benjamin: You're Wonderful; Joshua: 2 Cool

Elizabeth: Sweetie pie

Nathan: You Rock!
