Valentine's Celebrations

Even though I was still recovering from surgery, I couldn't bare to let go of the valentine traditions I started.  

We enjoyed our love notes leading up to Valentine's Day.

And I still threw the fun cookie decorating party.

It was a little nuts of me to do this still not being able to stand on my feet for long but we kept things simple.  I had most things on hand.  I have this party down to a science since I've done it for 5 years now.  

The kids love this party and I felt like they needed it after I had been consumed with my recovery.

Taking one for the team is what we do as moms, right?

First MaryJane's friends while the older kids were at school.

Sadie's friends.

I wish I could have made them necklaces like last year but things needed to be simple, right?

Since Cole didn't have a cookie party at home this year, I got to help in his class on Valentines day.  

We played these two fun games I found on One Charming Party. It was a lot of fun! 

Thankfully I got to sit the whole time.  Off of the feet. :)
