Valentine's Fun

Today Caden had his very first Valentine's Day party in his preschool class. He was so excited! My friend Renee and I got pretty creative with the kids' valentines and made them using small plastic shovels. On the bottom of the shovel we wrote "I dig you". I wrote the child's name on the handle and then tied a candy necklace to the handle. They turned out sooo cute. I forgot to take a picture of an actual one and have only attached one that Caden "decorated". Oh well...you get the point. So cute!
Here is some of his loot!
So, I thought my idea was totally unique and awesome but no....someone else had the cutest idea too. They took a picture of their child holding a large cut out heart and made homemade picture valentines....too creative!
Finally, tonight I made special cupcakes to deliver to Ed tomorrow to share with Command staff. They are Brown Sugar Pound Cupcakes from Martha Stewart. I frosted them with a vanilla glaze instead of the brown-butter glaze and tinted them pink. These rock!!! Have a happy happy Heart Day everyone!!
