Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!  I enjoyed my minimal mantel decor for the month.  

The kids packed all 80 valentine's for their classes and enjoyed getting and giving valentine's at school.  Here's Isak's class...

Nels surprised me with a chocolate cake from Costco!  Yum!

For the kids, I gave them each a bag of candy and a balloon.  Also, sugar cookies.

They liked them.  Yay!

Cuties!

And my boys...

Kira and Sofie both made darling valentine's for everyone.  Kira made lots of cards and origami.  Sofie made everyone a paper picture frame and a heart Perler bead necklace.  

Nels wrote each of the kids a thoughtful love note.

Noah colored this puppy for Isak.  :)

Here's some of Kira's origami with Nels's notes.

Here's a picture of Sofie's perler bead heart necklace and picture frame.  She made one of each for each person in our family.  She asked me to print the pictures and iron the beads...she did the rest!

We opened the valentine's while Nels was at work.  So I sent Nels a picture of the kids holding his notes.

We had dinner and lit a candle for it too.  We read a Valentine book together.  It was a lovely day.
