Our LDS Homeschool group had a Valentine's party the Friday before Valentine's Day. Little Guy gave out Darth Vader cookies, which everyone loved. PS gave out the googley eyes ones and Buddy gave out Swedish Fish. This is what B wanted Buddy to do for the Swedish Fish Valentines... we made one for him with the leftover Swedish Fish.
We decorated cookies.
We decorated bags and then put them in a big circle and broke into groups by age to deliver our Valentines. There was a HUGE turn out this year.
We checked out our look when we got home.
When they woke up on Valentine's morning, this note was on the table with a box of donut holes.
Valentine Bunting (I ended up moving the little bunting to my bookshelves.)
This was Princess Sparkley's creation from Hello, Cupcake! that she got for Christmas. We were supposed to use an old Valentine box but I found this tray that was perfect at Walmart for $1.50.
We adjusted the recipe and made brownie cupcakes instead of cake. And I added a Valentine themed cake bunting.
Little Guy made these Valentines to give away, stuffed full of jelly beans.
Princess Sparkley got her Valentine idea from here.
Our friends had us over for a little Valentine party. [Buddy, E, PS, H, Little Guy, and S)
Oh, and they had a huge hill in their backyard and even though the snow was melted their sleds were still out. Buddy discovered you could still "sled" down their hill.
And, apparently PS can hula hoop. This wasn't one of her best runs but it's the only one I got on film. And, you didn't get the full outfit because it was such a warm day, she'd stripped some of it off. The outfit: two shades of pink striped pants, socks that are nearly identical shades of pink and also striped, gold shoes, a long sleeved pink waffle shirt covered in various colors of pink and purple owls, over top of that, a yellow Snoopy t-shirt she got for Valentine's Day. AND, over the pants, she was originally wearing the bright pink and brown flowered bubble skirt I sewed her for the Cherry Blossom Festival last year. And I took her out in public like this. And to the doctor's office!
