Valentine's Day Parties

It's that time of year when my girls have Valentine's Day parties and love is in the air. This year Eden had her Valentine's Day party at school on Wednesday because her school had a 5 day weekend starting the 12th of February so I lucked out and was able to be at her party as you can see in the photos, Lola was there, too. Eden made Valentine's crafts, decorated heart shaped cookies and passed out her Valentine's and collected hers as well. It was utter chaos with all the kids roaming around looking for each other's bags but it was fun, too.

The next day was Lola's Valentine's party. Her school decided to make it just a party for the kids and not the families so Eden and I went for a mommy daughter day. We went for breakfast at Mel's and then we got our nails done at our favorite Nail shop. Then we went for coffee (well for me, water for her) and it was off to pick Lola up from school. Can I just say how fun it really is having a 7 year old daughter! I mean, we have so much fun when it's just the two of us. I really enjoy those special moments with her and I know she does, too because she keeps commenting on it.

Afterward, we got a chance to go into Lola's classroom and watch her hand out her Valentine's to her friends. I also got video of them and I will try to fit it in, too. Just to let you know, Lola goes to a religious school and though they are not too bad about being too religious the teacher had a hard time getting the school to allow a Valentine's party. So, she had to incorporate the religious aspect to the holiday in order for them to be able to celebrate the day. In the video she's talking about St. Valentine and the importance of the day. There is a part at the end when they sing a goodbye song and Lola looks so adorable. It was so very precious!
