Eva Grace made Crush drinks for her class. We made Mrs. McCall and Mrs. Case a candy bouquet in the Crush boxes. EG took Mrs. Mitzi flowers in a crush bottle and Uncle Adam made his date a cute bouquet of flowers in a Crush bottle. So easy and so cute!
Ella made Koolaid play dough for her class, or had the do it yourself kits. We made some first!
We also got thoughtful with Burt's gift... All week long we brainstormed 101 reasons we love him. Then we added some of his favorite candies and added our saying to them. ("Thanks for fighting off all the jerks"- on the beef jerkey, "Thanks for making us SNICKER." "Your 3 MUSKETEERS think you are great." We love you to PIECES." etc... I think it turned out cute.
To lead up to the holiday, I picked up these little mailboxes at Target. Every morning the girls had a new treat waiting on them when they woke up. They LOVED it and rushed to see what was inside every morning. On Valentine's Day they each got an Ipod Touch (I got a great deal, this is NOT something I would usually do on Valentine's day!).
Last but not least, my sweet Emma had an awesome surprise waiting for Burt and I this morning. She had saved her money and had Adam secretly run her to the movies and Hobby Lobby to get gift certificates. In the middle of the night she snuck into our room and put the Hobby Lobby card on my phone (she was insistent on me setting my alarm :). And put Burt's card by his alarm. It was the first thing we saw when we woke up that morning. Her sweet act was the perfect way to start the day. Thought of and implemented all by herself. :)
