This year for Valentine's Day, we didn't have any great ideas for a Valentine's box that would represent something that Trace was interested in, so we started looking for ideas elsewhere. Kevin and Trace came up with the idea to do a hot air balloon with the basket as the spot for the Valentines to go into. After trying some paper mache that didn't work well for the balloon portion of the box, Kevin went to the party store after work and found the perfect thing! An extra large balloon that he was able to stabilize with chopsticks and twine on the top of the box. He cut a slit in the top of the box, I added letters to spell his name and we had it! I think it turned out great! Trace really liked it and he even won the award from his class of "class favorite".
The Sunday before Valentines Day, Trace had worn all black to church and I told him he looked like a Casanova. He went downstairs and came back with the rose in his mouth. I thought he looked so cute, I snapped a picture and even sent a copy of it to Nana and Nanny.
