Sweet Valentine



I absolutely love celebrating Valentine's day.

This year we decided to celebrate Valentine's day as a family. Brian and I had flowers delivered to each child at school and then later that evening I made a special dinner for the whole family along with Valentine cupcakes with heart sprinkles. We all ate by candle light and then I surprised everyone with their own box of chocolates. Every year we give each child their own box of chocolates and a special treat for Daddy and Mommy. Brian surprised Lilly and I with lily flowers our favorite!

This year Jacob who lives across the street from us who is also in kindergarten asked if Lilly could be his "Valentime". Then after approval of her being his best friend (Valentine) he surprised Lilly with a dozen little pink roses and a goody bag. They are the best of friends and play so well together. Daddy asked Lilly "who is your Valentine" and Daddy still ranks at the top of the list.

This was such a special day for all of us I do hope that you will share with me how you celebrated Valentine's day.

awww.... so fun! We didn't do much for the kids (or for eachother) this year because we were at Disney. Alyssa's birthday is Valentine's, so we focused on her mostly. But this gives me some good ideas for next year!

I celebrated V-Day at Co-op. I got flowers & candy from John (becca's friend) and I got money from Philip. With the money I got myself a pair of shoes and a ring. Cannot wait for you to see it, its georgeous. We gave valentines to our kids and to the kids at co-op and we just played all day...it was the best yet!
