Finally, A Valentine Party

After two postponed dates, all due to the lovely white stuff on the ground, the kids finally had their Valentine party at school on Thursday (Feb. 18). The kids were not only excited to get back to school and their routine but to also have this party. The kids look forward to party days. Why not, it's a blast!! As room Mom, I helped Mrs. Cutler organize the festivity with great help from our usual group of families. Gavin's Mom did goody bags. Beth's Mom got the juice boxes. Sean & Emily's Mom brought the cupcakes. Kelsey's Mom brought fruit. Kylie's Mom brought cheese & crackers and a special pretzel surprise. I did sugar free cookies. Gabi's Mom did heart cookies. Sounds super yummy, wouldn't you say?! Becky, Monica, Cheri and myself were able to make it to the party. The kids passed out their Valentine's, made a really cute craft, watched a little bit of Miss Spider Sunny Patch Friends and then eat their feast! It was fun and we were all tired at the end.

Monica & Cheri getting ready. Becky wasn't here yet, she missed the photo op, darn.

Each child had this waiting for them at their seats after the movie.

Plus this spread!

I have to tell you first hand... Those pretzels were amazing! Monica's MIL made them. Mrs. Cutler requested more for our Easter party. Yea! I can't wait to get the recipe.

Here is the class picture. They had made these adorable hats last time they were in school, who knows when that was ;) They are holding up the craft we made with them. It was a really cute Valentine card for them to give to their parents. Each child wrote the following on the inside, Dear Mom and Dad, I love you. Then signed their names. Ahhh... It was cute.

PS- There were three kids absent. Hopefully they will all be at the next party!


When we got home I said hey kids, let that your picture by where the garden should be. The snow is very slowly starting to melt and I wanted to get their picture next to the snow piles. There is a lot of snow out there. We are hoping to continue to see signs of Spring. Here are the kiddo's.

The parents are already brainstorming for our next party. It will be fun. We love making it a good time for the kids. Seeing their faces light up is sooooo worth it!!!
