preschool valentine party {2012}

I really love celebrating big and small occasions, especially when little ones are involved. There's just something so sweet about little wiggly bodies so excited to sing, play games, open presents, and gush all about whatever holiday is at hand.First up, heart crowns!Then it was time to make a puppy out of heart shapes.Pandemonium!Lacing hearts! This time they could lace it anyway they wanted - no rules. The little pumpkin loves to hear
"no rules!" - HA! These couple of pictures crack me up...she's so into it.She may or may not have picked up a bad habit from watching me hand embroider...just sayin'.Mimi surprised Grace by coming to the party!
The little pumpkin was so happy to see Mimi!Oh my, definitely NOT our best picture, and not just because it's out of focus!! I look like I'm drugged out and my eyes are still puffy from the dreaded pink eye - hahaha - but proof that we were there, even if neither of us was feeling too well
(Sp-r-ing...ya hear me? That's me calling. We're so over this winter cold and all the other sickness! Hurry up and get here!!).For weeks now, the little pumpkin has been telling us about this "surprise" she has for us, "but I can't tell you much about it...okay, it's a song...actually three songs...valentine songs...a funny one, too...you're going to laugh...but I can't tell you about the surprise...you'll just have to wait and see."
Oh, how I love her!Giddy with excitement...
{and look how tiny Isabella is! she is too cute and sooo sweet!!}I....................................................................................LOVE............................................................................YOU!..............................................................................More cuteness...Blowing valentine kisses...And the grand finale...a cute little number about eating all the valentine candy!Time to check their mailboxes for valentines from their friends...And last but not least: SNACKS! Love those heart-shaped pretzels!! YUM! Thank you Lovi and family - they were delish! And thank you to all the other parents that helped too!While others ate......Grace decided to play with her food make art ;)It's cupid's arrow, mama...straight through the heart!
