IT'S VALENTINES DAY!

Last night Jeff, Lindsay and Sam all came home. Jeff went through Sauk Rapids-Rice so he could support his brother at his basketball game. What a brother! Nick had his best games ever! Sam and Lindsay made a quick pit stop here and left early this morning for Minneapolis. Our family has always enjoyed Valentines Day. When the kids were in elementary school a special balloon or gift would arrive for them at school and Lindsay and I liked to cook for the guys or maybe even fondue in the evening. So, last night after everyone was in bed I left each of our children and Sam too a little valentine treat with a $10 bill attached to it. I refused to spend $4.00 on a card for each of them so we created our own simple card. Sam and Lindsay took theirs with before I grabbed a picture. Sam decided we needed a Valentine too so the last two pictures are what we found when we woke up!

A Winter Walk on Long Lake

Saturday afternoon found my sisters and I along with our husbands taking a hike in the woods and on the lake at Long Lake. What a beautiful day to be outside and enjoy some nature.

Sno-ball

Saturday night was Sno-ball at the Fergus Falls High School. Nick had a fun evening with friends. It started out with pictures at Lauren Johnson's home. They followed that with walking two doors down to the Petit house for a beautiful dinner. The 7 couples had a great time.
Nick's date was Laura Owen. Nick met Laura at Family Camp at Inspiration Point a few summers ago. This Alexandria "Cardinal" was a good sport to join the "Otters" for an evening.
Nick and his football buddies! That's right don't smile guys!


Good friends................ Adam , Kathryn and Nicholas

What do you feed a basketball team?

Tuesday night after practice Nick brought home the basketball team. They needed a little bonding time. So, thank goodness for Pizza Hut!
