Lucy and I spent the day making pictures, decorating, and baking for Daddy. I didn't plan ahead for Valentine's Day and I also didn't have a car that day. Everything we did had to be what we already had lying around the house.
We painted Lucy's hands and tried to stamp them on paper to look like a heart. This was our lame attempt. The cupcakes we pink even on the inside!! We had the conversation hearts because grandma gave a box to Lucy that she wasn't really fond of.
We made Ben a card, used candles from Lucy's room, and a cross-stitched gift from our wedding that says "Two Hearts, One Love, Kelsey and Benjamin"
Lucy colored around this picture and glued sequins on. It was her first time using glue.
We had left-over Jello powder from a salad I made last summer. I thought they'd look cute in martini glasses. We also stuck several little hearts that said "I love you!" all over the house: on doorknobs, lamps, mirrors and his Jello cup.
We hung streamers around the house that were left over from my 2007 birthday that Ben celebrated with me. We also made a paper chain with all of the reasons why we love Daddy! And the cool thing about the paper chain is that I thought of it all myself and didn't steal the idea from Pinterest.
Ben came home with a balloon for Lucy! She was so excited. He gave me a HUGE bag of conversation hearts (that are all gone already). He brought home pizza and flowers. And if you know Ben, flowers are a HUGE deal. He never buys flowers because he thinks they are a waste of money. Which, from a practical side, it's completely true. But it makes me happy so he did it. I was yelping and woo-hooing when he came through the door with these gorgeous flowers.
I love my flowers. And I love my husband.

So cute! And since you took a picture of the flowers they can now last forever :)
Tell Ben he can always "borrow" some flowers from any unsuspecting flower bed. Those are my favorite.
Look at you, you crafty woman! I LOVE your beautiful flowers! :)
