Yesterday I had four of my stay-at-home mom friends and their daughters over for some Valentine-making fun.

I stayed up late the night before decorating and setting everything out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I made up some examples of Valentines to give everyone some ideas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I prepared some yummy and healthy snacks. The  mini-muffins were cranberry-orange and were a big hit! I baked them right befoe the guests were scheduled to arrive and they made the house smell wonderful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We waited anxiously for our guests to arrive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

They were all so adorable in their red and pink dresses! We quickly got to work cutting and gluing and glittering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some of the Valentines our guests made,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and some my two year old daughters made.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I even got a chance to sit down and make a Valentine for my honey.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The party was a ton of fun and we all are planning to get together again for St. Patrick's Day!

What a fun time. I wish I knew more people around here to do things like this. We used to do "craft days" or cooking days all the time when we lived in AZ with my childrens friends and other family members. Check out family fun magazine online - they are bound to have some st pats ideas for you!

Wow, looks like loads of fun! I really miss not having a "little kid" anymore.......when kids grow up and become adults, the holidays are not nearly as fun anymore.
However, I'm going to make some very "fattening" goodies for the guys over the weekend....chocolate truffles, chocolate peanut butter fudge, red velvet cheesecake, and huge sugar cookie heart shaped cookies!!!!!!! Plus, I got pretty baskets and cellophane wrap to wrap everything. The kid absolutely hates Valentine's Day....well, he's 22, no girlfriend, a computer "nerd." Soooo, Mom's gotta come to the rescue with some surprises up her sleeve!!!!
Thanks for sharing the great photos!
