Family Valentine Cards

Throughout the years I’ve created a Valentine card for our family. We usually discuss ideas as a family and then I get to work gathering or taking the photos we need.

Although most people send a Christmas or New Year’s card I’ve grown fond of our Valentine greeting.

Several years ago we started celebrating Valentine’s Day at home and it’s been so lovely and mostly stress-free.
