Valentines 2012

I hosted a little Valentines party for Eliza and her friends. We had a lot of fun!  We made Valentine boxes with all kinds of fun embellishments - jewels, pipe cleaners, fake flowers, stickers, foam hearts, fuzz balls, etc. While the boxes dried, we played games. Here we are playing a simple game where each child gets a turn to pick a heart out of the bag that says how we will get across the room (ie, hopping, skipping, crawling, slithering, etc).

We decorated heart-shaped sugar cookies with pink frosting and sparkles. 

My good friend, Jenny Balmforth, and Liesel. 

Eliza with her beautiful cookie. She made her Valentines bracelet at preschool at our house the week prior. 

Sammy woke up in time to join the fun.  After decorating cookies, we exchanged Valentines, which was exciting. :) We had a fun Valentines Day party!

This is Eliza at the previous week's preschool at our house. She made that pretty 'purse' Valentine for her Sunbeams teacher at church.
