Oh man I am pretty sure the kids get more excited about Valentine's Day than they do about Christmas! For weeks Camilla has been working on her valentines. She has been practicing writing her friends' names and making them valentines most days all month. I finally went to the store and stocked up on hearts and tape and glue and stickers and construction paper and gave up my kitchen table for the weekend and sat down with my girls for a few hours on Saturday and we made the official cards to pass out to their class. (We also made Carson's cards :) Camilla put thought into each and every valentine. What was that person's favorite color, what do they like to do? It was a very fun project.
We also got a valentines package from Grandma Judy that was a big hit. We immediately decorated our kitchen table and got to work on our valentines bingo.
We ordered lots of fudge to pass out to all our teachers. Brooke was so excited for her class party she could hardly contain herself.
Valentine's Day meant red shirts for everyone. The day started with pink, heart shaped waffles on pink plates with heart cups and heart straws. I packed lunch and cut the sandwiches into hearts and packed all red food.
The kids had fun parties in their classes, Aaron volunteered at Camilla's class party and she was bouncing with energy. Carson loved his part as well and was very happy with all his candy.
I got two deliveries of flowers that I loved. The girls loved them as well, they wanted to help me cut the stems and put in the water and "feed" the flowers.
Our favorite valentine this year came from one Camilla made at school. Aaron and I fought over it and Aaron gets to have it at work for right now at his desk. Camilla said "Daddy don't lose that because its for you and Mommy."
Aaron and I celebrated by going on a date the weekend before Valentines. We went to an Argentine restaurant that was amazing and then did a little shopping. Happy Valentine's Day!
