I think it's a love affair from the very start.
I have always loved this sweet holiday,
and now Lexi and Ryleigh do also.
We started celebrating it a bit early this year,
inviting some of the besties over while Aunty Wendy was in town -
to decorate Valentines for the moms and dads
and enjoy some sweet Sprinkles cupcakes.
Both girls had class parties this year,
so we picked out these Valentines and got to work addressing them all.
Lexi also delivered a few to her friends around town,
and I was reminded once again, that the littlest surprises
can be the most fun when you're a child.
Vic and Lexi set out for the Daddy-Daughter breakfast
bright and early Friday morning.
It was filled with Mustang donuts, high school cheerleaders,
flowers being auctioned off and lots of sweetness.
Then it was time for Ryleigh's celebration.
We brought in candy hearts for all her classmates which were a big hit.
Here she is carrying around her very own box sent by Nanny and Grandpa.
She didn't put that little tin down for the rest of the day.
From there, it was time to celebrate at the elementary school.
With Lexi's class, we read Valentine's stories,
enjoyed a sweet treat and played a game
(her favorite boy in class happened to be on her team,
and they won - so imagine the excitement!)
The highlight was exchanging and opening Valentines,
and I pity the poor art teacher who then had to wrangle
21 sugared up-kindergarteners immediately afterwards.
The girls arrived home to roses and a balloon from daddy,
and I think they're now counting down the days until next year's
celebration.
As for me and my Valentine,
Vic and I finally got the chance to try out Gemma together,
and it was every bit as delicious as I'm been telling him.
Sending lots of love to all our friends and family.
XOXO
