This Is Us

  This year for Valentine's I used our xo waffle maker for breakfast and for the kid's lunches.  I also got some valentine's snacks to put in their lunches. Our Relief Society had a luncheon.  I went and picked up JoElla (we are in the same ward now) and we went to it.  It was so much fun and I really enjoy spending time with JoElla.  Lydia and Tyler were out early, so JoElla came with me to pick them up.  Then we took her home. Before I left for the luncheon, I picked up donuts from Krispie Kreme and I set up the table with valentine's decorations. For dinner I made heart shaped pasta and tried to shape the porcupines into hearts.  Which sort of worked.

Hopefully it tastes good! Do you have a favorite mac & cheese recipe?
