Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! We celebrated Valentine's Day half of last week and had a blast doing it! I downloaded a bunch of pictures and went ahead and put them all on one post.

We drew names in our family this year. Everyone had to make or get a Valentine for the person that they picked. This is Luke and Brad. Luke made Brad a candy card Valentine. As you can see Brad loved it! All the other pictures of our exchanges are at the end. I have a hard time posting pictures in order!
We started the celebrations with a Valentine's party for playgroup. The kids decorated Valentine mailboxes and exchanged Valentine's.

We had lots of yummy food!


I made Velvet cake balls! Thanks, Kristi for the idea. They turned out really well.
On Friday we went to the school to check out all the class parties! This is Kambree and one of her good friends.
On Valentine's Day we were pretty busy with games and work, but we took the time to all go out for pizza the then have a little gift exchange party. Annie gave Nelson a book and made two bookmarks for him!

Kambree made Annie a purse and a candy necklace.
Like I said, I'm not good at picture order, these are all the kids with their gifts!
Brad gave Kambree her favorite thing...gum!! He also made her a great card.
I gave Macey a Valentine with new hairclips!
Nelson gave me a card with a great poem and a gift card to Sonic. This is the poem he wrote: Moms are great
Moms are neat
I got you this card,
For a special treat.
Macey made Luke a big Valentine's Heart made of fruit snacks...Luke's favorite food!
As you can see we had some great Valentine's celebrating!! I hope you all had great day's too!
