Valentine's Day 2014

We like to be creative with our Valentines around here.  Every January I get the itch to go perusing around Pinterest looking for Valentine ideas.  Every January I go out and buy the materials to make these said cute Valentines.  Then February hits and I think I should get on making those Valentines, but with thoughts of the candy spoiling too early, I always postpone it until a couple of days before the party.

Well.... every year I also forget that Valentine's Day hits around the time of Parent/Teacher Conferences at school.  And this year was no exception.  So with long, long nights at work (and with Ryan out of town), we started our Valentines making event the night before at 8:30 pm.   

I won't tell you what time we finished, but it was much past a certain child's bedtime!  Anyway, they turned out pretty cute.

The containers say, "Hooked on You" and inside is a mixture of different gummy worms.  Quinn thought they were so cute, she didn't want to pass up the opportunity to have one herself!

Inside the package of gummy worms came a whole lot of gummy bears.  So Sullivan made use of those gummy bears with her Valentines.  She found cute Valentine baggies and put a label on the back that said, "You are 'bear'y special to me!"

She unfortunately came down with a terrible cold the night before her party and was way too sick to attend the festivities.  So we dropped them off and wished everyone a Happy Valentine's from afar. 

Even with illness and procrastination this year, nothing could get down our Valentines spirits!
