sweet friend party

i stepped out of my comfort zone and decided to host a valentine's party for karsyn and her sweet friends from school.  the four of them have become best buds and are pretty much inseparable i think.  it was FUN.  i really enjoyed preparing and setting it all up, then, while they were all here, they ate and played and us mamas talked and talked. 

i had a lot of fun setting up the snack table.  i wanted a decent after school snack for the girls, but also something festive and easy.  if it's not easy, i don't do it!  so i thought of doing a "make your own trail mix" bar.  they filled their little heart cups and ate and ate.  it was perfect.

we also used this time to celebrate our sweet friend samantha, who is moving away in a few days.  we are so so so sad to see her go.  she is hilarious and super sweet at the same time.  the weather was nice enough for the girls to all play outside after we snacked and i'm pretty sure they had tons of fun. 

overall, it was a fun party and i cannot wait to host another.
