Valentine's Day Fun

On Valentine's Day, we hosted a Valentine's Day party for some of Westley's friends, mostly from church. We had a lot of fun making valentines, counting conversation hearts (and eating them), decorating sugar cookies and playing Giant Candyland.This is the Giant Candyland game that we had put together for the party. I just used construction paper and made the squares for them to stand on. I used the original Candyland game and copied the pictures for the "candy squares"--an ice cream cone, a gingerbread man, a lollipop, etc. They had fun playing the game.
Here we are eating the heart-shaped pizzas we made for lunch. The heart shape was a hit, it's what made lunch exciting.
Here we are decorating sugar cookies. Corey and I made a bunch of heart-shaped cookies and some pink and white frosting. I also had a jar of a variety of sprinkles that I bought last year and never used, so that came in handy. Most of the kids ate as they went, but a few saved their cookies for later.

We had a lot of fun, and I'm thinking of making it a tradition.

Jenna- Thank You! The party was so much fun! Makenna really enjoyed playing with Westley and friends. Anyway, I am sorry to hear about the sickness you are now experiencing. Honestly let me know if you need anything anytime.
