Valentines Party

This weekend my Mom held a Valentines party at a local place in our old home town called The Sweet Life and invited lots of Charli Beth's little friends from there as well. She was so excited to see all of her "preschool buddies" and Miss Lily as well!

My Mom the crafty soul that she is had all kind of fun activities and things lined up for them! We re-used the little glasses, lips and mustaches (from our wedding Photo Booth that sadly was not able to be used since it rained) for them to take silly photos with.

They each made a Valentines necklace and opened a little gift that had a "diamond ring" in it which was a hersheys kiss wrapped up with a pipe liner (see Charli's finger!)

One of the games they played included using chop sticks to scoot as many conversation hearts as they could get to them before time was up. They were so funny trying to use these! Which isn't everyone?!

The store also made everyone cupcakes, marshmellow pops, cookies, a drink that tasted like bubblegum, and also gave out a little bucket of candy to each child. It was super sweet of Nana to throw this party for Charli Beth and her little buddies. I am sure that she will never forget it just as I have not forgotten all of the amazing parties she threw for my sister and I as kiddos.

I have started to become terrible taking pictures lately and completely forgot to snap a photo of Charli Beth opening her gift from us this year! But we decided that Lady and The Tramp was the perfect little love story to give her! Her and her Daddy watched it together the other night and of course they loved it! My sweet Hubby gave me a clean house (ohh la la) and a Columbia outfit which I am sure he is crossing his finger in hopes that it does not fit so we can return to the Bass Pro Shop in Nashville. Ha! His gift in slowly but surely making it's way here and is the war series set The Pacific. If you may remember we watch Band Of Brothers while I was pregnant at night when I would get home from work and we enjoyed it so much, so I figured this would be the perfect gift to not only please him but to also spend some extra time with him =) Win win!

Must we never forget:

"We love because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19
