My sweet sister in-law, Nan, started a fun tradition long ago..... The Valentine Fairy. I totally stole the idea. It embarasses my kids but they love it! It also gets me out of my comfort zone. I think I'm the only reserved Holt in my family. Embarrassing myself to make others smile is more of my husband's gig.
However, every Valentine's Day, I dress up like an obnoxious fairy. I twirl, leap and dance into my childrens' classrooms, interrupting whatever may be happening at the time. (Teacher approved timing of course.) I have a non-candy Valentine something in my bag for everyone but I'm especially on the hunt for my special "Valentine!" Once I find my special "Valentine," which of course is my child, I plant big red lipstick smoochies all over their face! My boys really love it even if they are a little embarassed! I'm determined to see it through until the end of their high school years as long as I don't break a hip dancing around!

yea! I am so glad that you do this! it was embarrassing to have my mom do this, but i loved it too! One thing she would do is switch it up, so you never knew which holiday she was coming on . . . she came as a turkey, leprechaun, cupid etc. It's a fun tradition that I am so glad you are continuing!
This is fabulous. Maybe she'll pop up here next year.
LOVE it!! I forgot about this. I'll have to try it next year with Matt!!
That's soooo funny! I love it!
