Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentine's Day this year!


For Isabella's I begged my fantastically brilliant friend Carrie for the valentine's she used last year.
She created these beauties and was kind enough to email them to me.

I'm so in love with them.





Aren't they adorable!?!?
I told you she was brilliant.

She was so pleased to give something she thought was so cute!


For Max we created this sweet little robot.

And Anders got the rocket ship.

They had a great time filling the bags with candy (and stealing a few pieces at the same time.)

Here is he ready to go exchange with all of his friends.
He even included a tissue paper flower he made for his teacher. (His idea -- hee hee!)

Anders with his Valentine box (that we were given 2 days notice that he needed -- grr.)
He did a great job covering it himself and making the flower-flag.

For the teachers we did a repeat of last year.
Boxes of wrapped chocolates.
(Sorry no picture. Click on the link here or here to see all of the info from last year.)
Thanks to another brilliant friend Heidi, we had some custom-made labels this year.
{They were so cute -- I should have taken a picture!}

We had a great day around here as well.
The hubs bought me these BEAUTIFUL two-toned roses.
{This picture doesn't do them justice.}

Then he had the kids make me this other bouquet.
Be still my heart!

I am in love with these!

Thanks to some friends that watched our children, we were able to get away for a nice dinner a few nights before. It was so nice. It was a really great Valentine's Day.
Hope it was a good one for you too!

oooh I looove those valentines! But let's talk seriously--is this really what all the moms are doing these days or just you? Because I can tell you right now, either my kids are going to be the loser kids with the barbie and transformer's valentines you buy in a box and fold in half, OR you have a lot more years of valentines making than you think....I think I might actually prefer the latter option. Prepare yourself...

Wow, such cute creations for valentines! I love the cute goodie bags with customized art. So adorable! Thanks for sharing all your good ideas.

Those all turned out so cute! I've decided that I'll probably end up being super crafty every OTHER year! I just can't keep up with every holiday! And I love that they made you paper flowers with messages! So sweet!
