As some of you know, making cool Valentine’s Boxes has become a bit of a tradition around here. (Mason’s Angry Bird Valentine’s Box<\/a> from last year has links to all of his other boxes as well.) <\/p>\n

2013 was a bit different as both kids wanted to make their own boxes. I helped both kids from a design standpoint, but they did everything themselves this year.<\/p>\n

Morgan said she wanted to make a “happy face” this year, so I sketched this out on a piece of paper for her:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A few hours later, she had created this. Not bad! I think when I took this picture one of her eyebrows had fallen off, but it did eventually have two.<\/p>\n

This year, Mason is into everything basketball, from watching it on television to playing in a YMCA league (and every night in our driveway). It was no surprise that this year his box would have a basketball theme.<\/p>\n

The box was designed so that students could drop their Valentines through the hoop and they would land down on the court below.<\/p>\n

Both kids were very proud of their work, and we were proud this year that the kids wanted to build their own boxes this year. Mason’s box took a beating throughout the day from all the slam dunks, but he brought home an award along with all his Valentines: “Best Overall Valentine Box!”<\/p>\n
