School Parties. So Much Fun :)

The girls celebrated Valentine's Day at school today! They had parties in their classrooms that were hosted by the moms of some of their friends. I volunteered, along with my sister-in-law, Tiffany, to help with the party for Madeline's class so I was able to spend a lot more time with her. Did I mention I got to make some super cute, peanut better & jelly -heart shaped- sandwiches? I had just recently bought my heart shaped cutters and I was so excited to do this!! Since the kids are so young in her class, there's not a lot of "partying" going on. Just some yummy snack time followed by a little play time.

Although, Madeline was quite the party animal today...

After snacking & hanging out with her friends, we headed down the hall to big sister's party. And that was a party! It was so crowded! They do have more students, so naturally more parents are there. And the kids are much older than Madeline's friends. They talk, to each other, to us. They talked to Madeline and bent over to be on her level. I'm pretty sure one of the little girls gave her an exam with the doctor kit. Not that she minded one bit, Madeline loves the attention! Isabelle gets a little nervious when things start getting loud so she stuck close to Mommy. We've also been sick all weekend and I have no doubt that she was still feeling tired. Since the party was so crazy (& really awesome. They even had a craft table! I really almost sat down to participate...) in Isabelle's class, I was only able to snap one photo. And man, was it a good one!

Isabelle's class took on February as the month to decorate the bulletin board in the front lobby. I loved what she chose to have on her heart! Mrs. Anthony told me that the "birdie" is a toy that had a boo-boo. Isabelle asked her to please write it on her heart. And then double checked to make sure she really did. This made me laugh because she does the same thing at home! Rachel is her very best friend that she talks about all the time. They've been buddies since day 1 & it just warms my heart! I hope they're able to be friends for a long time. And Tucker is exactly who she said he is. Her best friend that's a boy. :)

After the sweet parties, we headed home to check out all the Valentine's that were overflowing!

There were tons of snacks & candy, stickers & tattoo's and even a juice box. Some moms got so creative! I felt bad for not going all out. In my defense, we've been sick all weekend. I totally forgot about their parties until Sunday afternoon. I was able to get some cute goody bags out with suckers, bubbles, little colorful notepads & Valentine cards. But what really matters is, the girls had a great time :) They loved their parties, I did too! They also loved all their goodies from their sweet classmates & friends! Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
