Gene and I have never been very big celebrators of Valentine's Day. A thoughtful card is enough for me. I gotta' say, though, that I really enjoy the kid aspect of this holiday now that I am raising my own. It's just fun and sweet. And for some reason it brings out the hidden craft monster within.
I like to get a little something special from mommy; this year I have a pack of markers and a silly lollipop. I have also enjoyed making homemade Valentines with little girl for the past few years for her preschool class. This year we got crafty with a big batch of Nanna's buttons. It was a fun project - very do-able for a 5 year old while still allowing mommy to have a little creative fun as well.
Next year I am not sure if we will continue to spring for a completely handmade item - hard to believe that my baby girl will be a kindergartner and probably in a much larger class of 20 or more kids. The craft monster will have get much bigger to handle homemade in double digits...
