Valentine’s Day prep was waylaid by Cart Stomach Bugapoolza 2015, making me all the more grateful that we’d once again ordered the girls’ classroom Valentine’s from Minted (last year’s cards here). As I nursed myself back to life with a galloon of ginger ale, the girls stuffed and stickered their already personalized cards. Before my trip to Seattle, I let them pursue Minted’s extensive classroom card collection, and they each chose a design and corresponding sticker to gift their classmates.

^^Sunny opted for the Donut Card and Stickers, and so we ordered an array of scented, donut erasers to be gifted with each card.^^

^^Courtland opted for the Lollipop Card and Stickers, so we ordered some festive heart lollipops to go with her choice.^^

^^I love that Sunny wrote out her list of classmates before then writing their names on the envelopes to make sure she’d accounted for everyone.^^

Hard to believe we’re on year three of wearing these Valentine’s Day circle skirts I made in February 2013. Here is 2013 (Sunny is Courtland’s current age in those photos. Wild!) and 2014 and below 2015.
