Valentine Treats

Back in 2016, Valentine’s Day fell over the winter break so Mikey’s teacher sent his Valentine’s home in a paper bag. I had some treats set aside as well so I tucked them away until the actual day.

Mikey sat at his seat at the kitchen island and opened all of his treats, ate way too much candy and a good time was had by all.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
