We really like Valentine's Day here at
Merrilly Yours. Perhaps it is all the lovey-
dovey things that accompany it, like furry bears holding hearts, and doilies with glitter and sparkles. Maybe it's the pure
pinkalicious-
ness of it. At any rate, we happily hosted our third annual valentine-making party today. Greta loved that in addition to our "regular two
Emmas," today we also had two
Charlottes, two
Nicoles, and two Carey/Carries! Throw in Greta, Lincoln, Duncan, Madison,
Elin, Sarah, Geri, and
Fabiana, and you can see it was a full house!
We started with crazy crafting: glitter glue, silk flowers, glitter, foamy stickers, doilies, glitter, chenille and tinsel stems (called
pipe cleaners when I was young!), feathers, foil stickers...oh, and did I mentioned glitter?! It was so much fun. The kids had a great time and produced some pretty nice valentines:
After a yummy lunch featuring heart-shaped sandwiches for the kids and quiche for the grownups, we moved on to the cookie decorating part of the party. I apologized in advance for the inevitable sugar high that was bound to occur.
As you can see in the slide show, everyone loved frosting and sprinkles!
A highlight of the party came at the end, when Lincoln's buddy
Jack came to pick up his sister. It was so nice to see him out and about. He even had a high-five for me (I had a piece of chocolate for him). The kids look forward to more playtime with him soon.
All in all, a most lovely day! Hope your Valentine's Day is as happy as our celebration was!
