Second Grade Class Party

I have never been very big on Valentine's day in general but there a couple things I did/do enjoy. I always enjoyed getting the cards and candy when I was a kid. I loved getting to celebrate the holiday with a fun party when I was in elementary school. As a mom though, I love getting to help my kiddo make out Valentines to her classmates and I LOVE getting to help her make her Valentine mailbox!

(The flash caught her off guard!)

This year, we took her out to pick out her Valentine's...she picked out kitty's and puppies of course! Then, she decided that she wanted a zebra Valentine Mailbox from Target.

It wasn't anything overly crafty and it wouldn't take a lot of effort to assemble. (I wanted to make something extra crafty and go all out but this is what she wanted and that's what matters!) It's probably a good thing too since my littlest nugget fell sick the day before her party!

As she felt a little better, we started to fill out Valentine's and build her box... we had an awesome time while we were doing it too!

There was lots of glitter and stickers involved.....

and lots of smiles and laughter too!!

Not the best quality...I snapped this on my phone on our way out the door but, here she is all smiles, ready to go to her party!
