The older all of our kids get the more fun the cousin parties become. Sunday I decided I wanted to get together with my sisters and do something for Valentines. So I checked with Nic and Kim on their schedules and started making plans. We decided we would exchange Valentines, decorate cookies, have lunch, and do a craft. We decided to do it at Nic's house since it wasn't as far for Kim to come and Nic seems to have the best kitchen space with the bar for our parties. When we got there the kids watched a movie and played while we waited for everyone to get there. These 2 girls are so cute together. Gracie is always so excited to see and hug her
This toy is always a big hit the kids often have to be refereed as to whose turn it is but they have also become creative in making space so more than one of them can play...like I said pretty creative.
After we attempted to feed the kids lunch...which was a waste of time since all they wanted to do was play. We got to our cookie decorating. We had pink, orange, and blue frosting. Pink and red sprinkles. Cherry and cinnamon hearts. The kids each decorated 1 cookie and then proceeded to eat it. Hallie on the other hand spent about 2 hours decorating numerous cookies. She had a great time and every time we asked if she wanted to go play she said no I love to decorate cookies.

After cookies we moved on to crafts. Kimber had put together a cute craft that was a Valentine Boy/Girl. The kids had a good time gluing and folding the paper to build them
Here is Kim's model so the kid had an idea of what he should look like

They are very versatile and can also be worn as a hat
