A Day of Love

I am not a big one to celebrate valentines day.  However, I love these people sooo much in my life.  I had time this year to do a little shopping.  We had a great Valentine dinner of Chicken Cordon Blue and Rice and Green beans.  Sooo good.  We made sugar cookies and decorated them, and then I had some gifts of socks for them.  I bought a random amount of socks that I thought everyone would like some of them.  I put them in a container, and then they could choose whatever pair they wanted when it was their turn.  Really, who would have thought socks would be a big hit or so expensive.

Andrew's socks 

That is a container of about 16 pair of socks, covered with valentine candy. 

This was the after, but look how creative I was with the table runner and green valentine heart in the middle?  That is pictures of wisemen, and sheperds and an Angel and baby Jesus left over from my primary lesson.

Valentines day is fun like Halloween.  You can do something or nothing at all.  Jack and Nick addresed valentines for their class  Nick was sick (supposidly) so he didn't go to school on valentines day.  So, jack ate all of nick's candy for his valentines.  It was only fair, because Jack addressed all of Nick's valentines because he was sick.  Which was out of character for Jack.  He thought it was fun....Jack had a cute box that had the Patriots on it. I don't think I had a picture, but if I find one, I will post it.  Valentines for the class is about 8.00 if you want to addd some starburst or skittles.  Or about 4.00 if you don't.  Thats why I LOVE it.

oh Chilly Willy gave the kids some valentines too.  He made them on the computer that was unique to them, and then gave them some money and attached it to their favorite candy.  Cute.  I got some Under Armour Slickers (my favorite slickers) and some Red Vines and a Red Lobster gift card.  My favorite place to go with my buds.
