Valentine's Festivities

This Valentine's Day was more like Valentine's week!! Mommy was lucky enough to attend the kids school parties.  So many crafts, so much candy....ahhhh!!! We made a heart cake, and a Valentine's shoe box.  The kids loved all the festivities and as hectic as it was...we all enjoyed every minute:)

My beautiful flowers! So breathtaking:) They're still alive on our dining room table.

Sophia had to make a "Valentine's box" for her classroom for her classmates to put her Valentine's treats in.  It was packed to the top!

And mama made a heart cake...kiddies helped too of course.  Presto is sneaking a sprinkle in this picture of course.

Yummy!! Chocolate with chocolate chips and since I ran out of pink vanilla frosting the top was cream cheese!

Happy toddlers...

Presto's Room 1 class.  Mond/Wed/Fri only has 9 kids(and 7 are boys! Woah).  Giancarlo is Presto's favorite friend.  He talks about him nonstop!!

Before the Valentine's party the kids had music class.  This is what I walked into in the Hall.  A giant ring around the rosey!

Phia showing off all her Valentine's.  She wrote her name on each one.  They were little bags of teddy grahams and the tag said "Bear hugs from Sophia"

I had to run back and forth from Room 1 to Room 2 as I didn't want to miss anything.  Presto's class decorated cookies!

This face is the BEST!!

Back to Presto's class where he was making this candy necklace

Back to Phia's room where the teachers had taken pictures of each child and she was doing a heart art project with the picture

Time for food!! Presto scarfed up the cupcakes FAST!



I caught Riley reading Phia a book...these two are amazing friends.



They get along so well!



As if the school festivites weren't enough...Nana came over Valentine's evening and had huge baskets for the kids.  Best. Nana. Ever.  Highlight of the baskets were the Starbuck's cards she gave the kids.  Now they can pay for their own milk and cookies!

Phia got a princess Valentine's card from Nana that she could decorate...



Presto opening his basket

Note: Woody boots always








And finally, Mommy with her handsome Valentine. We spent the 13th evening at Cafe Firenze.  Our favorite local restaurant!
