Valentine's Day!

I have a friend whom I've given a title to.
I call her 'The Under Appreciated Over Achiever!'
She is one of the most creative people I've ever met.
And when it comes to gift giving, she always out does herself!
On Valentine's eve she showed up to my house with the cutest little gift!

It had the cutest little tag!

It almost looked too good and too cute to eat!
...ALMOST!
But I must say, it tasted just as good as it looked!

The kids always want to decorate a Valentine box to take to school. Lucky for me Bradon's 6th grade class was decorating boxes in class so I only had to help decorate 2 this year.

The kids always seem to know exactly how they want their boxes to be decorated and this year their boxes were Webkins inspired!
Carsten had a CHICKEN!
Cluck Cluck!

And Reagan had a BUNNY!
HOPPY Valentines!

Every year Valentines Day is a little different. I don't have any real traditions except for I always give the kids a little something! This year I put together little Valentine bags filled with candy.

They sugared up before going to school and then sugared up again at school. It was one long day of eating sugar!

That night we got the kids pizza and begged them to give us the gift of a clean house when we returned home from our date. David and I gave each other a new set of sheets for our bed and then we went on our little Valentines date that was really no different than most dates we go on. Possibly a sign of our age but we did our usual, dinner at the Thanksgiving Point Cafe and then we went to the movies to see The Vow. It wasn't anything different but it was nice just the two of us! And then we returned home to our house...
that was messier than when we left it!
Oh well, so much for wishful thinking!
Happy Valentine's Day!
