Luke and Tryg's Valentine Party

So Luke and Tryg got invited to their first official "party". It was a Valentine Party that a lady in our ward does every year for toddlers. They looked so cute, I had to take some pictures.Since the party was just down the street, we walked and Luke insisted on pushing his little brother. Well....this little party was quite elaborate and very Martha Stewartish. She had a total food spread for both kids and adults complete with heart shaped sandwiches, crackers, and jello. There were little tables set up for kids and printed agendas! The theme was 'Bees' so Bee my Valentine was plastered everywhere...very cute. This is the kind of party that can make you feel very inadequate because your not as "crafty" :) After lunch, the next thing on the agenda was crafts. They decorated these little wooden bees with hearts and glitter glue. Tryg was just the right size for these tables to completely make a mess of things, while having a great time.

.....he especially liked sucking on the glitter glue bottles and throwing all the foam hearts all over the ground.

Next on the agenda....a 'Bee' parade

Then it was time for games. The kids took turns holding on to the net while other kids tried to throw the heart bean bags into it. Luke got a bit upset when they tried to take the hearts out of his net :). He figured possesion was 9/10 of the law.

Each child had a chance to decorate their own bag so they could carry all the loot (i.e. valentines) that they were about to get. It was like Halloween all over again. Finally, the moment they were all waiting for.....the pinata! As you can see from this video, not a lot of damage Luke could do with this feather light pink plastic bat.

So...the adults had to finally rip the pinata open and as you can see Luke got the brunt of it...

It was definitely past naptime :)
