Two weeks ago, our home school co-op had its Valentine's Day party - which was actually TWO parties! This year they split off into age groups. The middle and high schoolers had their own "Mad Hatter" tea party with every kind of candy imaginable, games, and crazy hats. The younger children had a more traditional party with valentines exchanged, food, and a craft to do.

Kaity had fun making a crazy hat for her party. It was constructed of Lego and included many nerdy references like Doctor Who, Star Wars, & Harry Potter.
The craft the children did was making valentines to be distributed to various recipients such as a nursing home, and a child battling cancer.
Jeff and I have never been big fans of such a commercialized holiday telling us we have to give "flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep ..." Except that last August I saw that the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra was doing a free Valentine's Day performance. Yes, please! So after church and a lunch at home of roast beef and potatoes, etc., we headed to the concert. It was well done overall, but we really wish we would have noticed that it was a "family" performance, meaning the audience was full of children. Ugh.
