We started the boys’ class valentines last weekend.

It only took about half an hour for them to fill the bags with five bracelets (in the colors of the Olympic rings) and a chocolate gold coin.

Last night I made the labels and printed them out.

The boys grabbed their class lists this afternoon and filled them out.

Overall it was a pretty easy process and I’m so happy with the Olympic tie in.

I’m also thrilled that the boys decided to go with the same valentines this year, it made things so much easier.

And you may think you saw our Christmas tree in the earlier picture of Luke. It’s actually our Valentine’s tree.

I’m not sure when we’ll take the tree down. Having the chair that normally lives in that corner moved to the other side of the living room allows us to block the whole room off and make it a giant safe zone for Annie. Plus, I really just love the lights and having the tree up.

It’s also not entirely my own idea. My parents had their tree up for a whole year once – it was decorated for all the different holidays. I’m completely on board with that.
