Brendan brought me home these beautiful flowers and this yummy cake today from The Chocolate. I can't wait to eat it tonight. On Valentine's Day we celebrate at home together as a family and go out the next night on a date. The day after Valentine's Day is when Brendan proposed to me, so it's a special day but without any crowds.
I got these cute little mailboxes in the dollar section and Target and used them to put little valentines and treats for Hazel, Hattie, and Brendan leading up to Valentine's Day.
This year I was going to do the 14 days of Valentines, but I started late so it ended up being 10 days. Each day I gave Brendan a valentine. This frog one was from one day and also the junior mints. I also did some like "I'm nuts about you" with some pistachios or "I'm fortunate to have you" with a bag of fortune cookies. Hazel would hide them around the house for Brendan to find, but she usually got too excited when he came home and told them where they were. (frog valentine from here and junior mints printable here)
These were Hazel's valentines she passed out at preschool with some sweedish fish. I got the printable from here.
that cake looks AMAZING. and all your valentines are so dang cute.
