Valentine's Day 2011

The kids came over to the house after school today to celebrate Valentine's with me. They start asking about this party right after Christmas. It has become a tradition with them.They shared with me what they got at school and from friends for Valentines and then began the party. I made cookies, brownies, chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate candy. There was a special table setting with decorations waiting for them when they got home. They got to drink their punch from crystal stemware which they think is special. Each of them got a small gift from Papa and me. They had blast. Hope everyone's day was great and full of LOVE!! Happy Valentine's Day.
