Can You Feel the Valentine's Love?

Copying the idea from Jessica Romney, I started doing the 14 Days of Valentine's a couple of years ago. I didn't quite succeed in getting a picture of each day, but here is a good sampling of some of the gifts the kids received each day.

Crunch 'n Munch

New shirts (red and pink)

New movie and licorice

Lucky Charms

Strawberry heart-shaped marshmallows

Little Debbie Valentine's cakes

Valentine's cards to give out to friends

Chocolate bar and note

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
