Sevgili Günü or Valentine's Day

Gina celebrated Valentine's Day at Austin's school by helping the kids create a Valentine's letter for their parents. We spent the night before making sugar heart cookies and we shared them with the children's friends, teachers and neighbors.

Austin's classmates proudly display their finished Valentine letters. 

Austin and classmates, Umut, Hatice and Ibrahim, start creating their Valentine letters for their parents.
