I know not everyone is crazy about Valentine's Day, but I love it! Kalia and I decorated sugar cookies for her friends in Sunday School and had so much fun together doing it. I am crazy about the idea of a day to celebrate love - after all, as Christians, showing love is our goal! I know that it is important for us to show love every day, but why not use this holiday to do some extra special things for the people in our lives who mean the most. I definitely don't think that Valentine's Day needs to be about gifts or spending a lot of money - to me it's more about gestures and thinking of others. Also, it doesn't need to be a day just to celebrate romantic love. I want to show love to my kids and my family too! And if my husband wants to take me out on a special date, am I going to say no to that?! Scott and I are going out together tonight, and tomorrow my parents are taking the family out for a Valentines supper. I did buy the kids a couple of little suprises at the dollar store too, just for fun. I know they don't need gifts to show them our love but I see no harm in having a fun suprise on this day! So, I just wanted to say Happy Valentine's Day to all of my friends and family that are so special to me!

Looks like a lot of fun (and a great excuse to make fun cookies)
I love Valentine's Day too! I think it's so great that you make it so special for your whole family! My parents always did that for us growing up, and I loved it!! Definitely something we'll be carrying on in our household too:)!
What a perfect way to put Valentine's Day. Hope you had a wonderful day!
