Valentine's Day 2013

We celebrated this Valentine's Day (2013) a little differently.  I figured that since we make a month-long celebration out of Christmas - why not do the same thing for Valentine's Day?  So, on February 1, Caeden and I made a chain out of pink, purple, and red paper links to hang up.  (Since we had done this for Christmas, Caeden knew that it was a countdown for Valentine's Day).  For 14 days, Caeden got to wake up each morning, tear off one link, and on the inside was written an activity for us to do together!

Some days the activities were simple (read a Valentine's Day book), and sometimes they were more involved (make a Valentine's Day box).  Here are a few pics of some of our activities we did to celebrate this Day of Love!

One day, we put wax paper on their shoes, and went "ice skating"

in our living room! This was so fun and hilarious!

Their shoes were way slippery than I thought they 

would be, and they had a blast!

We also finger painted with (and ate) pink pudding. 

(vanilla pudding + red food coloring)

 And one day, we made miniature heart-shaped pizzas. 

We cut the dough with our heart cookie-cutter, and 

the kids got to do the rest.

That's all the pictures I got.  But some other activities we did were: making a bumblebee out of paper hearts, made Valentine Brownies, he went on a one-on-one adventure with Daddy one afternoon, went on a Donut Date with mommy one morning, made Valentine's for our friends, did a "lacing" project with hearts....those are just some.  On Valentine's Day evening, we went on a family date to Chick-fil-a to celebrate our love for each other!

Here is a picture of my LITTLE Prince Charming

on Valentine's Day!

(You can tell someone had been eating

some chocolate). 

And here are some pictures of our little Princess!

I absolutely love holidays, and I love making the most of them!  

So, we had fun making it a 2-week celebration!
