We celebrated Valentine's Day in a low key way. Being that the holiday fell on a Tuesday, we all had work and Eva's House.
Prior to V-day, Mikey was a busy boy making Valentines for relatives and friends. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of our creative Valentines this year, but I will still talk about them (and if someone wants to capture their Valentine and then email me the photo, I will gladly post it!). The first Valentine was made up of Mikey's handprints. I cut yarn the length of his arms outstretched, from the fingertips on one hand to the other. I stapled the yarn to the hands and wrote on a card:
A Valentine Hug
Wrap these hands around you whenever I'm away,
so you can have a hug from me any time of day!

For other family members/friends, we made Mikey's thumb print to look like a bunny, drew a face on it and then wrote "Some bunny loves you". They came out GREAT and Mikey had a lot of fun participating. He really enjoys craft time.
The night of V-day, Mike and I made a surf and turf dinner after Mikey went to sleep. We had a bottle of wine and cupcakes from Party Favors for dessert.
It was a LOVE-LY day!
(The next day was even better when Michael came home with a new iPad for me/us!!)
