My oldest loves all things party-worthy. Holidays, birthdays, reunions. And I love the way she folds her brother and sister into all the excitement. As soon as we flipped the page to February she started what I can only call a Valentine Workshop upstairs in the bonus room. She’s made daily trips upstairs to work faithfully on little surprises for everyone in the family.
I can honestly say I take more pleasure in finding extraordinary in the ordinary days, but the kids love the hubbub of a good old fashioned holiday. So James and I obliged this year…with our own little homemade valentines:
They returned the favor with their versions (“I love you <— this much —>”) :
I turned to a favorite verse for decoration (using kid-friendly verbiage to drive the points home):
I absolutely heart when these things pop up around the house unprompted:
It’s been a sweet day…and we have more to come! The oldest still hasn’t put on the “family party” yet!
Happy Valentines Day from our house to yours…xo
