Valentine's Day





Graham did most of his Valentine celebrating at school.  For his school valentines, we decided to go with one of his favorite (and very allergen-friendly) candies, Swedish Fish.  I found this printable online.  Graham signed each one and cut out the name tags for his classmates.  I think they turned out pretty cute.





They had a Valentine themed day at school (but not a party) and exchanged valentines there.  One sweet thing they did was for Show-n-Tell, the kids were supposed to bring in a picture of something/someone they loved.  So, I kept asking Graham who he loved.  Each time I asked him, he gave a different answer, "Mama, Gaga, Macy, Daddy...etc"  Then I asked him, "Well who do you want to bring a picture of to school?"  He answered Daddy.  I asked him a few minutes later and he answered "Daddy" again.  Awww!  This is the picture I printed.


While Graham was at school, I hosted a playdate for Macy's friends.  I used the beautiful roses Joel got me as a centerpiece.  Lovely, don't you think?




Though I have to say, she spent almost the entire playdate in my arms.  Every time I'd put her down, she cry.  Well, we can't have that.  I guess my little love bug wanted a little extra love on this day!

I'm pretty sure this makes me the biggest dork ever, but I even dressed like Macy on Valentine's Day.  I picked her outfit first and realized I had one that was quite similar (what does that say?) and I couldn't resist.  Maybe I was hoping some of her cuteness would rub off on me.





XOXO

Cute Valentines idea for Graham's class :). Also, our Kate is a year younger than your Macy, but I think they might have some similarities...I think she's going to be one to be held :)
