Valentine's Day/Josh's birthday is always a bit of a crazy time at our house. Josh birthday this year however was on Sunday and all of the Valentine festivites for school were going on the Friday before so it simplified things considerably. I had the best idea for Valentines Boxes this year, but McKay would not have it. He only wanted an Avengers Valentine box, so we whipped this one together and he was happy as a clam.
I did however love the Valentines we gave to his friends. We printed this off from some wonderful blog somewhere and then taped them to boxes of candy hearts. McKay was ticked pink about them.
My friend Anna did this box last year and I was dying to do one myself. I had to mold the mouth and tongue from clay and cook it in the oven...this was definitley a labor of love, but I had a blast doing it.
You can see the title a little bit better in this picture. Lincoln was super bummed because his class didn't do their own Valentine boxes.
The Valentines Lincoln and Hunter gave to their friends were bouncy balls wrapped in chocolate wrappers.
On Sunday we celebrated Josh after church since he had early meetings. The boys woke up to the traditional Whoppers (I forgot to get a pic).
McKay is always doing special things for birthdays.
For Valentines Day I asked Josh if he would get me this mirror I found off Craig's List. He was such a cutie and went 1 1/2 hours to get it. Apparently the person he bought it from was pretty scary too, so I appreciatied it even more.
I couldn't wait to finish it and did it the next day. I LOVE how it turned out!
