Happy Valentine's Day!

I've always loved Valentine's Day.  My mom and dad did a great job growing up making this day a day about family and love within our home. Mom always had candy in these cute little hearts, heart shaped food, and of course, the SUPER KISS (made from rice krispie treats - so good!).  Dad always made sure (up until I got married) that I had a special Valentine's Day card just from him.

My nieces and nephews have always been great about sending me a valentine (thanks Jen!) and I've loved them.  I also have really enjoyed Valentine's Day in my classrooms.  It's been fun.  

Now, Lil' D is just starting to understand what holidays are for, and Baby A is clueless, so I haven't gone all out yet.  But, we did make Valentines for our family and then send them pictures.  This is the generic Valentine from Lil' D and Baby A to all of the rest of you:

We also made some delicious chocolate covered strawberry cookies (thank you pinterest) and made a special steak dinner for Daddy.  It was a fun day! 

These pictures are when Lil' D broke down in laughter while we were taking the Aunts and Uncles Valentine pictures - he's adorable!
