I am pretty proud of how we celebrated this holiday like rock stars! Despite some sickness and a flooring renovation that destroyed our house, we had so much fun being crafty for Valentine's Day!
Milan has always loved photo cards and this year she took charge and led me to make the perfect card for her. We had 45 minutes to kill during the girl's dance practice so Milan picked this exact spot and pose to show off to her class.
I talked to Eden and Cora about some photo card ideas and the minute I said glitter, they were sold. I love all these fun pictures!
We used materials from around the house to make awesome Valentine boxes. Milan of course didn't need any help, but I got to work with Eden on this cute mouse-dog, uh, I mean Wiener Dog. Cora wanted to be just like her big sisters so we made a cute unicorn box for her dance exchange.
This morning, the girls were surprised to find balloons and Valentine Coupons for a later bedtime, mommy or daddy date, family movie night, and other activities I am excited to share with the girls. I got my own surprise when Dave walked in with roses after school and Cora said "he loves you!"
We ended our celebration with fancy family dinner with bowtie pasta, heart shaped garlic bread, cucumber heart salad, sparkling cider in wine glasses and chocolate-dipped strawberries made by our very own chef Cora. We got to talk about the different reasons we love everyone in our family then enjoy time together before bed.
Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to think about love and show my extra people a little extra, but I sure hope these people know just how much I love them every single day.
