Growing up, it was a tradition among us and our cousins to make Valentines with our pictures on them to send to each other. I remember how much fun it was to make them, and even more fun to receive the special cards as Valentine's Day approached. This is something we have loved doing with our kids and their cousins, as well. They really have a lot of fun choosing which pictures to use and decorating each card.
One day I took my two younger kids to pick donuts as a special treat. Check out the awesome V-Day one Rebecca picked!
We also got to enjoy a special trip to the mall with Grandma and she treated these cute kids to an awesome train ride!
Steven had school off on Valentine's Day, so we decided to take advantage of the time together and visited Aunt Alison for lunch. She has such fun things in her office! It was a really special treat to go see her. :)
For dinner I made heart shaped pancakes (just now realizing that shaped pancakes are our holiday meal of choice, haha). For dessert we decorated cookies with pink and purple frosting and Valentine candy. We loved having a special meal together, and the kids loved their little presents. Their favorite one was glow sticks. After dinner we lit them up, turned off the lights, and had a glow-in-the-dark dance party. Definitely a repeat activity, for sure!
