(Another) Valentines Party!




Today we got to go to another Valentines party! I have to admit, we do A LOT of celebrating in the month of February because of Valentines day, Lala's birthday, and our anniversary.


And we are so blessed to be a part of a Waldorf home schooling group. This time, my girlfriend Kikanza invited us all to her home for a Valentine friendship party. It was so nice!! She has a beautiful home up in Pasadena. It is very child-friendly because she does Waldorf child care in her home. Many of our friends were there so it was so exciting. Earlier in the week, we had hand sewn our Valentines to make pins. I was so proud of how they came out! Bella and Lala did such a great job. ( I did about half of them.) We also made some Valentine (Yummy Earth) Lolipops to give out.



It was a totally rainy day. We got to the party and the first thing we did was greet our friends and play!! As I said, Kikanza's home is very child-friendly so there was a ton of fun toys, dress-up, and even bunnies to play with!!





Then the girls decorated some shoe boxes to put Valentines in. They painted like crazy and put on other embellishments.







Next, there was a circle time with singing and storytelling.



Then we had a little lunch. The highlight was fresh-baked mini-muffins.


Then we did our Valentine exchange. Kikanza played the flute while the kids went around the table delivering Valentines. It was really fun to get all home-made Valentines! It was sweet to see the care that went into them. We had such a wonderful time. (Thank you Kikanza!)
