Valentine's Day - Take 1

Today is the culmination of a week full of too much - excitement, to-do lists, candy, tiredness. You name it, and there was too much of it. And, it's only February 12. That means it is not even officially Valentine's Day, but because it's the last day of the school week, it might as well be V-Day.

Abigail and Cooper's class parties are today, and they were so excited this morning. Not to mention, they looked super cute.


Cooper had cupcakes and iced sugar cookies to take to "his kids." Ha! He told me this morning, "My kids are going to love my cakes." Too cute!

And, I hope they do. I spent a few hours yesterday making cupcakes with delicious butter cream icing and heart-shaped sugar cookies decorated with icing and sprinkles, of course.


The real treat of the day are the actual Valentines. The kids have been anxiously awaiting today to give their friends the treats. I found this year's idea in a magazine and went to town with matchboxes. That's right, matchboxes and scrapping paper.


Each of these matchboxes slides out for the treats.


I think they turned out so cute.


Although Cooper's class can't read, I still personalized them for the kids with cards attached to the boxes.


Now, I'm moving on to getting ready for the next Valentine's event. I can't wait to share what I have in store for Sunday...
