Valentine cards

         

Matt made me this Valentine card 18 years ago.  We had just started dating a few months before.  We were spending Valentines day apart because I had a Regional swimmeet in Lubbock and Matt had a State wrestling meet in Dallas. Matt started a tradition in our relationship which would later be  incorporated into our family.  We have a couple binders full of cards we have made for birthdays, Valentine's day, Mother's day, Father's day and any other special occasion that needs a card.  

With Valentine's day not one of the listed parties allowed by the school, we received several notices saying that candy was not allowed to be added to the valentine cards.  So, we decided it would be more fun to make the kids cards to hand out.  We checked out the Family fun sight to get ideas. 

Kylee chose to do a foot card (shaped like a heart)  with jewels for the girls, and a heart monster for the boys.

Brayden wanted to make alien cards that fold out into a heart.  Pink for the girls and green for the boys.

Kylee also decided to make a fancy heart bug card for her teacher.  Brayden inspired by her decided to make a similar card for his teacher.  It was fun spending a couple of hours during the week working on the cards.  The kids were excited to give them to their classmates.
