Valentine's Party

Okay, so a HUGE perk to my job is that my Fridays are somewhat flexible. I was able to go help at A and D's Valentine party at school today.

After putting their valentine's together, they were both SO excited to share. (Asking all week long, "Is our party today?") We've done Valentine's with playgroups the past couple of years, but this year they REALLY got it! Although they were both somewhat confused as to why they weren't putting a Valentine in their own decorated bags, they definitely loved giving! They began the Valentine festivities on Monday. This ENTIRE week has been filled with fun "heart shaped" Valentine activities that the kids have just "LOVED!"

We started today's party with a cooking craft, which of course led to a huge plate of yummies. Then had some time for crafts and of course passed out Valentines. Our Valentine "unveiling" was saved for home. Which I loved. We got home this afternoon and were immediately unloading and checking things out. They were so excited to see all their friends names on each Valentine. They were saying "Look, this one is from..." Not that they can read, but they see their classmates names so often they recognize them almost as well as they recognize their own. It's so fun!
