HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY everyone! I have to admit when it comes to holidays I love to do craft projects, get books about the holiday, cook certain foods or meals and find new and fun ways to celebrate the day. This year Hunter decided that he wanted to make one eyed valentine heart people and so we got busy. Aren't they so cute? Sorry if you are seeing this and still waiting for yours they were sent out a little late. I am really good on the craftiness a little bad about procrastination :)
This year as part of Deke's valentine treats I filled a goblet with some new snacks. Some of these things included marshmellow hearts (made by the company that makes PEEPS) and my favorite new find: Hershey kisses filled with CHEESECAKE FILLING!!!! Okay sorry if these are not new to anyone else and just new to me but I really like them. Let's just say they are almost gone and Deke hasn't even had a chance to try one yet. What is not to like, chocolate good... cheesecake good... bite sized so you can eat more and feel like you are eating less good.
Hunter made me my first very beautiful bouquet of pipe cleaner tissue paper flowers which I loved.
This year we decided to surprise Deke with a different sort of valentine, first we made it...
Then we put it on Hunter and went to Deke's office. I sent him in wearing it and carrying a balloon and Deke was so surprised and Hunter was adorable and so excited to surprise daddy he could hardly stand it. It was a good thing that we did this now since he is rapidly getting older and pretty soon would never let me subject him to this kind of thing even if I thought it was adorable. However since he is only four he loved it and was thriving on the attention he was getting from the patients. 
It was such a nice valentine's day and we had a lot of fun, on to birthdays for Deke and I later this month and a quickly approaching anniversary for us as well. I am trying to slow life down a little and just take it all in.

All your Valentines are so cute! That is such a cute idea to have Hunter wear his Valentine. And the kisses sound yummy. I would have to eat them without looking at the nutrition label though! I have been meaning to do a Valentine post on my blog but have yet to get to it! My life has been crazy busy!
Awww, nothing says I love you like pipe cleaner tissue paper flowers! So sweet! I LOVE that you go all out for holidays too. I figure it's always a good excuse to change things up. i love it! We had red heart pancackes and then fondue for a snack that night with the kids. And we made heart fish, but I LOVE your one eyed guys! So cute!
Mekell I loved your very Joey-esque description of the cheesecake kisses!
