Happy Valentine's Day!

This year is the first year that Eva has had to have Valentine's for school and we had a ball making them. We wrapped Teddy Grahams and heart candy together with a ribbon and attached a note that says, "Bear Hugs from Eva". The part that I liked best about these Valentines was that Eva was able to do a LOT of it on her own.

For her teacher we picked out a nice hand lotion (we actually found a kind that is a lotion AND hand sanitizer all in one - perfect) and we traced Eva's hand. Eva cut it out and we taped one hand to each side of the lotion. We wrote, "Mrs. Minder, you deserve a hand!" on one side and on the opposite side Eva signed her name.

Valentine's Day in our home is a family affair. We celebrate by making a special meal and we eat it on heart shaped plates! It means so much to me to celebrate this holiday with the people that I love most - Matt, Eva, and Jaden!!!!!
