Valentine's Party

We were supposed to have a Valentine's party at a friend's house the weekend of Valentine's Day, but because of the blizzard, it was postponed. So we had it here today instead.

Aside from cousins, these girls only have a handful of friends. But these friends are near and dear to our hearts and are all good friends. Maddie has two little girl friends from her dance class last year- Veronica and Ciara- that both she and Faith really like. We rarely get to see them, but did do a Halloween party at Veronica's house and decided to do something here for Valentine's.

I like this kind of stuff because the girlies get to help with all the preparations which they enjoy. We got everything for 75% off at Target which was also another great part about it! Maddie and Faith made candies and lollipops, they helped make the princess punch (which wasn't as much of a hit as it was at Maddie's birthday party-- of course, Maddie loves it though!), the food, and they loved making Valentine's for everyone including Abrie. One of my favorite Valentine's was the one Maddie made for Dan which was a Carl valentine from the movie 'Up,' and when I asked her why she chose that one she said "because sometimes Daddy is grumpy and loves to crack his back." Hahaha.

Girlies had a fun time and made little foam mailboxes together which was a hit. Then they "delivered" their Valentine's (it was a trip watching Faith with her mailbox that had glue dripping from every angle!) and got all their little favors. They had a blast, and Abrie was a hit with her lightning-fast crawling and climbing abilities. Of course, the girl is totally a Momma and Daddy's girl and won't go with ANYone and bats her little eyes while curled up into my shoulder. She's my precious.

Totally unrelated, but these girls love wearing dresses. I like to put Abrie in dresses, and if Maddie and Faith see that they're not wearing a dress when Abrie is, they get upset. They want to wear a dress every single day! I don't remember enjoying wearing dresses as much as they do. They are too funny.
