It's Almost Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day is almost here! The decorations, cards, and candies were in stores as soon as Christmas was over. I have been reminded about this holiday for awhile and finally went to get my special Valentine's cards for my students today. As I sat and filled out each of my cards for my students, the memories of Valentine's Days past filled my mind.

As a child I would get extremely excited for this special day because of the little Valentine's cards. I remember when I was a little girl making my beautiful card holder every year and awaiting the moment when I would get to open each card. I remember stressing over which cards I would give the boys in my class. I didn't want any one of them thinking I really liked them, well maybe just a certain boy in the class. The time came to open my cards and what a fun time that was. I would sit and look at my cards for hours. Oh the little things in life!

Now my cards are all filled out and I will pass them out to my students this week. I know they will be just as excited as I was as a child to open each and every one of those special cards. I always enjoy watching them open their cards and then showing their friends. Oh the little things in life that make us so happy!

I think every girl had those feelings growing up in elementary school. (Or at least I did too!) I hope you will have a great Valentines Day with your kids and you are so thoughtful to do those special things for your students.
Enjoy your valentines day!!
I love you!!!!
