What a lovely holiday to share the love. I decorated the house a little the beginning of February.
And then the kids wake up to a fancy table on the day of, just as I did growing up.
Adren and Paisley worked on their Valentine boxes to bring to school, Eli made his as a class activity.
I got to help out in Adren's class that day with his class party. I love to be at the school on Holidays and his class is a lot of fun. I feel like I know these kids pretty good after seeing them year after year. I was in charge of coming up with a game. I made a big pink and red bean bag in the shape of lips to play the version of Hot Potato. I changed it to "Hot Lips" and had the kids pass the bean bag around in a circle until the music stopped. Adren was real specific on the kind of music he wanted me to play. His requests were: Fireflies by Owl City, Party Rock Anthem (of course), Dynamite and Gangnam Style. I snuck in there MC Hammer's U Can't Touch This. It was all a hit and when the party was over and there was time left the entire class wanted to play a giant game of it until the bell rang.
The kids came home to a counter top full of heart shaped pink sugar cookies and we put together some Valentines for the neighbors to leave on doorsteps and knock and run. I was happy to see Adren still very much in to this, as well as a speedy little Zeke not slowing anyone down. It was a lovely evening with a yummy Chinese dinner on our fancy Valentines table~
Wreck It Ralph kept the kids distracted enough for our own doorbell Valentine Phantom throughout the evening. Our house was full of
love.
