Valentines Day

 Ever since Amelia was born, I tried to find exciting ways to bring on a holiday.  Adapting traditions that have been with us for a decade or more.  

At Christmas we have 24 days of stockings, legos and candy advents and we celebrate her german heritage with St. Nicholas Day.  


When her 5th Valentine approached I thought why not do a 13 day advent for this holiday as well!  

Making the bags you can see here:


Ever since then she is treated on February 1st with a heart bag to open every day til the 13th. Filled with a little gift and a message on why we love her.


We made chocolate strawberries this year. 

And before school on February 14th, she was greeted with a basket of goodies. 




Happy Valentine's Day! 

Next...the 13th Birthday.
