Ian enjoyed making and mailing Valentines to some beloved family members and friends. Ian and Ryan worked together to make thumbprints on flower petals, and Momma wrote, "God made you THUMBbody special!" (Thanks, Pinterest!)
We also got together with some local friends for a Valentine's Day party. Ian loved decorating paper hearts with paint in the salad spinner and giving his work of (h)art to his friends. Ha! Ian was most excited about his "mailbox" we made by wrapping a shoebox in wrapping paper and covering it with Diego stickers. He also loved delivering "mail" to his friends' mailboxes.
At the party, the kids enjoyed some yummy heart-shaped cupcakes and fruit. Of course, there was also lots of play-time, too!
We got a group shot before the party was over, though we took it after Anna had already gone home. And, Baby Samuel must've been sleeping. Pictured here: Brooke, Ian, Caleb L. (back row) and Cameron, Zane, Carson, Ryan, and Sommer (first row)
We enjoyed another fun Pinterest project this month, too (thanks for finding it for me, Mom!). We did a "heart attack" on Ryan and Ian's doors. Each day for the first part of the month, we taped a heart with a compliment for each boy on their door. Ian wanted to (re)read ALL of the other hearts each day, too. What a fun idea! We'll have to try to remember it for years to come as well.
We thank God for showing us what true love is when He sent Jesus!

I did the same thing on N2's doors before Valentine's Day. I didn't tell them they were from me until Valentine's Day so they had fun guessing who their secret admirer was. I had a hard time remembering some nights too!
I love that you had a party with your friends. That's a great idea!
Fun ideas! Henry loved getting the Valentine!
