But...I actually love all the crafts, treats and fun that can be had during Valentine's Day! There is enough pink, red and white to go around for a whole year...and we took full advantage of it this weekend!
I remember growing up how excited I would get about Valentine's Day! My parents would always take the time to get together a few things to give us for Valentine's Day! My grandmother would always send us a box of valentine cards to play with as well! Since I won't get to spend Valentine's weekend with Addie we celebrated it this weekend!
We started off the day with some muffins with bright red sprinkles and candy hearts on top! 
Then we headed to Pottery Barn Kids for their Valentine card workshop! 
Addie had a blast making a card for YaYa and Granddad! I think we were in the Pottery Barn store for about an hour and a half! 
Of course we couldn't pass by a photo booth without stopping for a silly photo!
Then after a much needed nap we got up and made Valentine necklaces!
You string together hearts and straws on yarn and come up with a very fun necklace! 
Who knew a dexterity exercise could be such fun!
The results were fabulous! Addie made one for herself as well as YaYa and Aunt Winnie! 
Then we headed to Mellow Mushroom to meet up with Aunt Winnie for dinner! Mmmm....this place has the BEST pizza in the whole world! Now....why they have a wooden raccoon at the entrance...I will never know.....but of course Addie loved it because she was taller than the raccoon...this is rare when you are three feet tall! 
Aunt Winne wearing her heart necklace! She loved it! Of course you have to say "I love it" when a 2 year old gives you a hand made present.....they wouldn't understand any other reaction! Ha!
Sunday morning we had another healthy meal (Ha...we had NOTHING healthy this whole weekend)! Cinnamon rolls with more sprinkles! Mmm! 
Addie personalized her Valentine cards to give to her classmates!
Addie is REALLY into Disney right now so I gave her a few Ariel toys as Valentine Gifts!
Then to finish off the healthy weekend we made heart shaped cookies!
A little flour.....goes a LONG way!
The flour got everywhere but on the cookies! Well...you can't expect a 2 year old to be neat when I can't even be neat when I make cookies! 
And of course...more red sprinkles!!!
