Valentine's Party

Today at school there was a Valentine's Day party. The Girl was eager to get home and show me all of her cards and candy (mostly the candy). In addition to exchanging Valentines, they also got to frost and decorate heart-shaped sugar cookies. Her excitement evoked old memories. As a kid, this holiday was the one I most looked forward to celebrating at school. I loved picking out that box of little cards and envelopes, addressing them to my classmates and stuffing one in everybody's Valentine holder. Receiving Valentines wasn't so bad either, neither were the cupcakes and other goodies to be had.
