Valentine's Day party

The kids begged to have a Valentine's party this year and since I had so many pink decorations and candy left from Cailey's birthday party I decided to do it. I made baked ziti and everyone who came brought a dinner dish to share. Along with the ziti we had meatball subs, salad, garlic bread, cupcakes, strawberry brownies and tons o' candy.

a mini candy bar

first to make a guess at the estimation station...there were

214 conversations hearts inside this tiny jar! Kinsey's guess was the closest with 200.

my Valentine

little buds eating dinner together

playing heart BINGO with awesome prizes:)! the kids loved this...so did a certain daddy:)

Ping pong ball races (best one by far was watching Todd and Brandon do theirs!)

Rock candy fans

they played several minute to win it games and were so sad when it was finally time to leave...they wanted to play more games!

The mommies (minus Leslie who got sick and just sent the kiddos)

Each of the families took turns getting pictures in front of the decorated fireplace.

All the sweet kiddos (minus Charlotte)

We had a fun night and the kids are already planning their next event which they are hoping to be an end of the year ice cream party.
