Owl Valentines Day party

Today I threw a little Valentines Day party for my little Olivia's playgroup friends. We had 13 little toddlers (most under 2) over here this morning which translates into lots of chaos, cuteness and fun! :) Here are some pics from today's festivities!!

Me and my crazy Olivia!

A perfect craft/party activity for 2 year olds...sticking anything on anything! For this party I got little mailboxes, spruced them up them with owl printables and ribbon and had the babies stick heart stickers on them.

Olivia, hard at work on her mailbox...

and then enjoying her cupcake. :) (notice her little owl shirt...cute Etsy find!!)

All the babies...can you believe we got them ALL in a picture!!! (and no one really crying?!?!)

A Valentines Day treat!

I have a HUGE order of cake balls to fulfill by this weekend so I started working on them today. After rolling 100 (which isn't even half way through) and covering about 50 of them I got side tracked...bored actually, and I started playing around with a Valentines Day treat idea. This one I'll definitely be using at my Valentines Day party for our toddlers next week!!! :)

All I did was use my little heart cookie cutter to cut through a cake ball then covered it with candy melts. Easy and so cute! And I finally have a use for those plastic heart containers I got on clearance sale last year! ;)

Don't forget about Santa!!!!

We almost did!! Bailey was so focused on getting to bed early tonight so that she didn't disappoint Santa that we nearly forgot all about his cookies!!

OMG, seriously...that would have been BAD!

About 5 minutes after I walked out of her room I thought, "OH NO!! We forgot cookies for Santa!!". So I ran up and got her out of bed to set up our highly thought out plan to figure out Santa's favorite cookie/milk combo!!! You see, he told us earlier this week when the girls went to sit on his lap that his favorite cookie was chocolate chip so we knew what his favorite cookie was...but he never told us what his favorite milk flavor!!?! So we set up a sampling station...this just basically covers all our bases and gives Santa no room to complain!!! (can you tell I'm a mom who is used to accommodating different food tastes??)

My money is on the ol' trusty regular white milk, (easier for future Christmas Eves) ;) but Bailey is convinced its either strawberry or chocolate.

I guess we'll know in a few hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

And carrots for the reindeer!!!!! (they're a little old, but they'll do)

Merry Christmas to everyone out there in the Internet world! I hope you all have a wonderful/happy/blessed Christmas!!!

Trim the Tree/Gingerbread Decorating

I am having so much fun this holiday season! My Bailey girl is 4 1/2 now and totally into all the Christmas season festivities. Today we had Bailey's ballet class friends over for a Trim the Tree/Gingerbread decorating party! (I obviously couldn't decide on which activity to do so we did both!) lol We had so much fun!! The girls sipped on hot chocolate out of fancy china while they worked on their crafts. Such big girls!!! Here are a few pics from today's festivities.

First up, the hot chocolate bar...complete w/ marshmallws, sprinkles, reeses peanut butter bits, candy cane stirrers, and snowman cake pops!

These little bowls are made from chocolate!! I got the idea from this site. Check it out!! Lots of clever party ideas!

Bailey checking out the dessert table...

Time for hot chocolate!!!

First activity, decorating Christmas trees! Each girl was given her own personal tree to trim, a basket full of mini ornaments and a popcicle stick star to decorate. The girls had a "tea party" with their hot chocolate while they trimmed their tree.

Next up, decorating gingerbread houses! I made these out of graham crackers. Easy, cheap and the possibilities for these little decorators were endless!!! Even my little Liv got in on the action!! Mama was so proud....
