Valentine Birthday Party

This year for Jayme's birthday, we did a small party at home with 10 of her close girlfriends from school. I talked her into having another Valentine themed birthday party

And as some of you know already from FB, these marshmallow pops are what inspired me...I had to have a reason to buy these, they were too cute!

we started the party with a craft

fun Valentine bracelets

as they finished Auntie Dee face painted

as you can see she was very good at it

all the girls wanted both sides of their cheeks painted, design on the right, names on the left

but that wasn't enough, they wanted foreheads too

Jayson joined later after the girly stuff for cake/cupcakes and face painting...cool dragon huh!

they also decorated cookies

these girls were creative, some topped them with a marshmallow

these pink heart marshmallows were a hit

especially after being dipped in chocolate and rolled in sprinkles

kids spread

heart ham and cheese...I'm still making these for the kids lunch today...heart cutter is my new favorite

candy bar

Jayme really wanted to play pin the tail on the donkey, so we did pin the heart on Jayme

I traced her and she drew the rest

octo ring toss

cake...cookie dough ice cream cake was her special request...Thanks Auntie Dee for getting it for her!
cute tradition her friends have...after opening presents, tissue paper fight!

favors

so blessed to have this great little girl!
