Valentine's Day Books

The kids' Valentine's Day "treats" from mom and dad were... SURPRISE!... a couple of books. We didn't wrap them up. We just read them at the dinner table while the kids were having dessert and told them these were for keeps. :)


I love these "God Gave Us..." books. We bought God Gave Us You when Will was just 7-ish weeks old while on vacation in Grand Haven and I noted on the inside cover that it was a gift for his baptism in September. So sweet. I love that story.

Anyway, God Gave Us Love seemed like an appropriate title for Valentine's Day so this was one of the books.

The second was a Ladybug Girl book about what she "loves". This is our first Ladybug Girl book and I think they seem so cute. Both books are really for both kids, but Sophie has been keeping this one in her room and Will doesn't mind.
And here are some others that we borrowed from the library as well:








One last thing, only because I didn't know where else to put this...

Here's a cute little "puzzle" Will brought home for me from the babysitter's around Valentine's Day. I've actually seen this type of "puzzle" before and thought it was such a cute/clever idea but haven't gotten around to trying it.

Will gave me an envelope... don't ask me what it says. :) I think it's supposed to be "To: Mommy" and "Love: Will". :)

...and Daddy.

Then inside were a bunch of craft sticks that were numbered at the bottom and a message/picture across them. You have to line up the numbers to read the message. (I think the #8 stick is upside down though.) When I saw this idea, the sticks weren't numbered... but that definitely helps! Isn't it cute?

And that's a wrap on my Valentine's posts!

Happy Valentine's Day!
