Growing up, my mom always made Valentine's Day a fun kids' holiday.  We would buy candy and make cupcakes.  I remember always going to the store to pick out a new Valentine's stuffed kitten or bear.  So this year, Arie Alex got a pretty pink dress embellished with roses from her Grandma Bonnie, and that inspired a whole Valentine's party.  Cupcakes, crafts, and lots of candy!
