I don't really care what you think about Valentine's day, but without a shadow of a doubt Valentine's day has become a very favorite holiday in our family. This year we had a Valentine's potluck meal with friends that was super delicious. In the morning Anna was up at 5:30 making doughnuts for all of us, and I made a scrumptious cake - 1/2 chocolate, 1/2 vanilla. It's the holiday of the homemade. Anna made me a beautiful Plexiglas house filled with origami hearts. I made her a boxed Valentine. Kuba made us all little fused glass hearts, and Anders drew the most lovely cards for Anna and me. At school I had the kids make nearly 500 valentine prints that we handed out to everyone in the building, and 33 of those were "golden valentine's" which meant you won a chocolate bar! I also sent out nearly 70 valentine's cards to friends and family.
