Valentine's day party 2011

One of my favorite holidays is Valentine's Day, and with my kids being homeschooled, they couldn't experience a Valentine exchange without getting together with friends. When Rebekah was in kindergarten or first grade, we invited some friends over for lunch on Valentine's Day and traded Valentines. Then last year, I was talking to another homeschool mom in our church, and we thought it would be fun to have a party for homeschoolers from our church. So we had the party at our church last year and again this year. While the place and friends have changed from year to year, we still enjoy trading Valentines and expressing our love and friendship to others on Valentine's Day!

We had our Valentine's Day party this past Friday at our church with homeschoolers. We all had a wonderful time! We played group games, traded Valentines, (even Bethany got some!), ate lunch, and decorated heart cookies. For lunch we had sandwiches, chips, pink lemonade, fruit salad and cupcakes, with heart shaped cookies for dessert!

 It was a very fun day, one I look forward to every year! An extra thanks to the Moms who helped make this fun event possible! The kids love getting together!
