It's tradition to make homemade Valentines at our house. It's most fun when we get to use candy, but no candy is allowed at the school Valentine parties, so we have to get extra creative.

Here are the results of this year's Valentine creativity:

We attached the Valentine message to the bottom as shown above. The message is shown below ("Have a WARM and FUZZY Valentine's Day!"):
