Valetine Parties

Our school actually celebrated Valentine's Day on the 15th this year which was a little strange, but the kids got 2 days of celebrating this way. Charlotte and I got up and at 'em that morning. We headed out early to pick up cupcakes and head to the school to set up for Madeleine's party. 
 Charlotte is right in the middle of the action at the parties. She is so comfortable up there (probably since her first party was when she was 3 weeks old!). All the kids know and like her and they include her in what they are doing. She loves every moment of being the center of attention. :) Madeleine is just amazing with her and lets her be a part of all of it.


 The kids decorated valentine bags and then exchanged valentines before digging into snacks. Instead of planning another activity, Mrs. H and I decided that they would really rather have time to talk since that's something they don't really get to do outside of lunch and recess.

 We let them fill their plates and then they all ended up on the carpet just sitting and laughing and talking. It was crazy and fun and I think they all had a great time.

 After cleaning up Charlotte and I joined Madeleine for lunch -- which she didn't even bother to bring her lunch down after all that party food. :) We stayed with her until it was time for Harrison's party.
 Harrison was so excited for us to join him in his classroom for his party!
 When I first got into the class, I started to help out with setting up. I looked over to see Harrison getting Charlotte settled into a chair next to him. {love}
 They did pretty much the same thing as Madeleine at her party -- decorated bags, exchanged valentines and then ate. Yum!

Poor Charlotte was waaaay past her naptime by the time Harrison's party ended, but she was hanging in there. I checked both kids out and we headed home to get packing for out big trip to Little Rock! Another post to come on that fun trip!
