Valentine's Day 2016

Valentines was so fun this year. I started a new thing that I hope will become a tradition. We did the 14 days of Love. Every day the kids would pick a heart and it had a service on the back to do that day. It was just simple things like make someone else's bed, invite someone to play with you at school, take treats to a neighbor, write a card to someone etc. It was so fun and the kids really got into it and loved picking a heart each morning. They for some reason were so excited for the holiday and I'm not sure why. I explained that we wouldn't be having any big party and they weren't going to be getting presents like it was Christmas but still they were so excited. They did get a few little things and we had a yummy dinner.

For Makenna's Valentine's box we made it into a princess castle. I think it turned out pretty good!
 This was Chase's first year getting/passing out Valentines. I had to explain a couple of times to him how it worked because he wanted to keep all the Paw Patrol valentines we had bought to pass out. Once he understood how it worked and that he would be getting candy too he was all over it. He could hardly wait for his preschool party!

I sure love all of my Valentine's!!
