Valentine's Day FUN!!

Valentine's might have been a month ago, but we can still feel the love in the air around here!! The kiddos always look forward to making Valentine boxes. It's fun to see the creativity and the creations, but they sure do take a lot of time!

Mara wanted to make an owl. I thought it should say "Whoooo do you love!?" Super cute! It turned out great. I especially love the heart ruffles on the bottom! 

This was called "Ty's Tank!" He did a great job. Love the army guys and all! I think it should have been named "Love and War!" But Ty didn't get it nor did he like that suggestion! 

Caleb thought since Ty and Mara were making Valentine boxes he needed one too! And he KNEW just what he wanted: A green Ninja Valentine box! He was thrilled!  

The finished products!! The kids were so excited with how they turned out and they thought for sure they would win a prize! Well, they didn't win but I still think they had the cutest boxes around! 

There is just something special about making homemade valentines! I'm not sure what it is, call me old fashion, but it is so fun to pull out the red, white, and pink construction paper, glue, stickers, and doilies and cut out hearts for loved ones! Doing this fun activity with my children brought back many years of fun memories for me doing it when I was a kid!

Sure love these kids and grateful for a holiday we have to show and celebrate our love! Nate and I were able to celebrate together going to the temple and out to eat! What a great time we had! It was so nice to be at the temple together. It had been way too long! We ate more than we should have at Texas Road House but it was well worth it! I just Love Nate! I just LOVE my family!
Happy (BELATED) Valentine's Day!
