HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
We had so much fun with Valentine's Day this year- many thanks to my Mom for her sweet Valentine's care package that passed along the delicious cupcake mix that we later made as a family here (see pics above).
Lucas couldn't get enough of the cupcake mix-(before I even got it into the adorable heart-shaped cupcake baking tins)-and I couldn't get enough of the delicious pink vanilla frosting :) We made a bunch of cupcakes, then packaged them in these super cute bakery-style boxes (kudos to Wal-Mart), then went for a drive and delivered them to family and neighbors. We also made homemade Valentine's Day cards for family here, and family that lives away. I bought some red hand paint and couldn't wait to start the card-making with Lucas (because what kid doesn't like to dip their fingers and hands in paint, right)?! Apparently Lucas doesn't! Lol. Having all the gunk on his hands really freaked him out & it took all but 30 seconds to quickly get his "handprints" on the cards (they are supposed to create a heart shape) before he was running to the sink to rinse his hands off. After the paint was rinsed off his hands, though, he had a lot of fun writing his name (with a little assistance from mom of course) and playing with all of the scrapbook details.
It was so much fun and a memory I will surely tuck away in to my treasure box :)
Hope everyone's Valentine's Day was extra special this year too! Love you all!
