I found the Charlie Brown Valentine's Day episode online so the kiddos watched that while I slipped into the kitchen to prepare our feast. I cut out their PB&J sandwiches into the shape of a heart along with slices of oranges and apples (had to incorporate SOMETHING healthy!). I purchased miniature cupcakes with buttercream frosting. For their drinks, they actually got to have Root Beer. What a treat!
I made place cards out of hearts so they could each have their own special seat. The kiddos made Valentine hearts for James and decorated it with lots of stickers (I put out crayons and an assortment of stickers, but they all wanted to use mostly superhero ones...no surprise there!)
We had a wonderful time! This afternoon they'll discover little boxes of the Sweetheart candies with the lovey-dovey sayings on them. Happy Valentine's Day, ya'll!!!
Happy Valentine's Day Erin,
ReplyDeleteYour party looked like alot of fun!!!!!! It reminded me of when you were little.I didn't know that you were not fond of "V Day".I always loved getting you,Sara and your mom flowers,candy and or jewelry for Valentine's Day.Kiss my Dinkelberries for me and wish them Happy Valentine's Day from Papa Cushenbery.
Beautiful family gathered round for a beautiful celebration. It was so good of you to make the day special for your loved ones; proud of you!
ReplyDeleteHmm...my previous comment didn't post! I always loved getting some gifts from you, Dad. I just don't like all the obnoxiousness that comes with the day i.e. walking in walmart and greeted with a nauseating display of balloons, cakes, cards, stuffed animals, etc.
ReplyDeleteThe family did seem to really enjoy the party and before the kiddos went to sleep we went around the room and told every person what we loved most about them. It was priceless ;)
