Ben's Valentines

I got to go help at Ben's Valentine party at school yesterday. It's so fun to see him in his own element, away from home, even if he has to "show off" a little for his mom and doesn't listen to his teacher as well as he normally does. We had fun cutting hearts out of our sandwiches, eating heart-shaped cookies, and of course, delivering valentine's to each other. I had fun making Ben's valentines and he was really excited to give them away, he even stuck one into his own box...

I just have to say this was not an original idea of mine at all... my sister did this last year for her kids and I thought it was so cute! I wasn't sure if Ben would cooperate with posing for the picture, but promising one of the heart suckers he picked out really did the trick as you can see!

As for our own celebrations, we're having the sister missionaries over for dinner tonight... very romantic, I know. But they're super fun so we'll all have a good time. Happy Valentine's Day!
