Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentine's Day here at home with the kids.  
Right now they request the same heart shaped pizza we had last year.  
Right now they love eating red jello and pink milk.
Right now they think it's fun making heart shaped rice krispie treats with frosting and sprinkles.
So right now, we spend the evening with them, because there will be a day when they out grow all of these things.



My kids are lucky to have a fun Aunt and grandparents who get them a little something to open.

These are the Matchbox Valentine's that Taylor picked out for us to make.  How can you go wrong with a heart shaped Reeses?

I went to Target and saw the cute little mailboxes, but didn't get them.  Then I was wishing I would have.  So I went back and they were out.  So I got these little pails instead.  Not as cute- but still fun.  I cut out pink and red hearts and put them by the pails.  The week before Valentine's Day we all wrote notes and drew pictures for members in our family and put them in their pails.  After dinner, we read them and it was so cute.  Lauren put a big red "U" on my Valentine for "Utes".  They are trying hard to convert me.  We will defiantly do it again next year.  I will have to cut out a lot more hearts next time.  I couldn't keep up with them.
