Valentine's Day 2013...

My Maggie got to have an extra special day at school on Wednesday to celebrate Valentines day with a party. Parents and siblings were invited too, so Sadie and I made a date of it and went. It was a super sweet time to be in her classroom and see her interact with her peers...mingle with other Kinder Mama's and eat some yummy treats. 

When we arrived there was a precious display on her classroom door. Each student had made a heart shaped hand print craft. And Maggie's teacher had given each student a heart, with 8 personalized descriptive words. It warmed my heart to think her teachers thinks of her as obedient, respectful, friendly, giving, loyal, kind and diligent. Soooo proud of our big girl!

Maggie and her classmates...
Mrs. Potter read a great Valentine book...
They enjoyed heart shaped cookies, brownies, sugar cookies, marshmallow trail mix and drinks.

Worked on a floral craft and made heart hats, too.

Have I mentioned how precious her teacher and teachers aid are!!! Simply the best! 

For Math that day, the class had graphed how many students liked hugs best and how many liked kisses best. It's sweet to make learning so fun!

Then the class played a relay race game with conversation heart candy and a spoon. Maggie's team won, woohoo! 
They also had a "guessing/estimate" game, too.
And finally shared valentines with each classmate. Maggie is "nuts and bolts about her classmates", hehehe! She hit the jackpot and came home with candy, a bookmark, bubbles,  a top set and flowers. Such kind peers.
We went ahead and celebrated Valentines day as a family that night, I had to work on the 14th. We had heart shaped pizza...opened Valentine goodies from our sweet Valentine, Todd.

And ended the night with a family movie night of watching Angelina Ballerenia My Special Valentine (Todd definetely took one for the team). Hope you got to spend Valentines day with someone you love!

And just for fun...I found some past Valentine day pics. My oh my, time just keeps on flying by.
