(Doesn't mean that kept me from staying up until 1.30 the night before glueing together the kids' Valentine's cards, or from resorting the the card aisle at Target for Torbjorn's. Sigh.)
I limit it to a box, one storage container. All things hearts cupids and luuuurrve that can fit into the 32 gallon container make up our Valentines Box, and it's heralded with great joy each February 1st.
We repurpose a few old Christmas lanterns still hanging about, and make dinner time special with candlelight.
This year, we had a fancy Valentine's Tea Party with five of Cecilie's friends. Our guests were asked to bring valentines for each other, and to wear pretty dresses. They crafted sparkly butterflies, they curled their pinkies around their tea cups, and swirled colored sugar into their peppermint tea. It was all very grown-up, and very sweet indeed.

Awww...so sweet! I need to do that for Sage when she's 7!
This is a wonderful idea for little ladies. As we have 3 girls, I want to do this next year! Thanks.
You are amazing! I am incredibly impressed with your creativity. Looks like the tea party was a huge success! Love the picture.

Oh, I miss tea parties! We had them often and I enjoyed them as much as the girls. :) My 'baby' girl is 16 now - so we go out for tea. Keep building memories - great blog - my first stop by. I'll be back.
