Love Weeks-Day 11

The Party.
Monkey wanted to have a Valentine's Day PARTY at our house. That's all he wanted he said, "A party at my house with my friends." Umm, okay. So, we re-arranged out weekly DATT (dinner at the Tibbetts)Group to be at the Dunbar's, so Monkey could have his Party.


I made cupcakes and put out snacks. (Mainly chips and dip in Heart shaped bowls.) No pictures.

While I was taking pictures of the cupcakes, Bogie was at the table saying, "Cheese!"
Okay, Bogie, I'll take your picture, too.
And no, he does not have front bottom teeth.
 I put out some art supplies(markers, stickers, glue sticks, Valentine's paper, funny scissors, etc.) for the kids to make Valentines Cards, or bookmarkers, or pictures.
 The girls took to the art supplies and got right to work.
The boys, not so much, they decided to play ping pong or swords in Monkey's room.
The dad's gabbed in the kitchen.
The Mom's chatted in the living room.
And then we ended the night with eating all of those cupcakes and exchanging Valentines.

A lovely, simple, evening shared with good friends.

Are you planning a Valentine's evening? Fun or Romantic?

Those are my favorite kinds of evenings. I love how everyone found their spot and those cupcakes...look so good. You did a great job decorating. We usually celebrate Valentines with a favorite dish and then a cake.

Your photos are exceptional! Love Mrs. C's husband's Dunder Miflin shirt. Love how spontaneous your party was! {that photo of your baby watching the little girl (is that little Mrs. C?) is priceless--those intense toddler stares---I miss them!}

"Sweet Post" ;) love the pics... I love posts with pics! My little girl and I are hosting a week little sewing Valentines day sleepover... five 9 year old girls are going to sew little pocket sized heart 'pillows' for a Childrens hospital charity - the grieving center gives them away to grieving families/kids. Can't think of a 'sweeter' thing to do with my little girl on a day about love! I will post about it ... the day after I guess! ;)
