Valentine Traditions

Every year we start the week before Valentines with our celebrations. Each family member has a valentine box. I put a treat in the box every day and family members put pictures or notes. This year I suggested to the kids that they could also do good deeds for each other and put a note in the box saying what was done. This was really nice for me. Alison was so excited to give me "the best valentine's gift ever" by cleaning my bathroom sink. This is pictures of the first night and everyone got ring pops.


We also always make sugar cookies and decorate them. The kids seam to always add so much stuff the the cookies, but they have fun.







Can you even see the cookie Rylie is frosting? We also take the kids around to neighbors and friends and deliver valentines. The kids really enjoy door bell ditching. No one has ever heard of that here in Minnesota. We still do it and they probably think we are crazy but the kids love it.
