As far as my kids know, today IS Valentine’s Day. Both girls had Valentine’s Parties at school today.

Check out what was in Eleanor’s bag of goodies: handful’s of candy, erasers, pencils, toy frogs, a little pinball game, a coupon for a free donut, a bracelet with her name on it, stickers, a luncheon cake, and a stack of Valentine cards.
I’m floored by the quantity of stuff. I did think the nicest thing was the bracelet from one of the boys in the class.

I’m glad that this gift giving for the whole class takes place only 3-5 times a year. I find it hard to keep up.
Elly loves it, though.
It was great fun for her to look through all the gifts. The kids did not actually get to look at their haul at school. They decorated their bags, but they are really too young to pass out their own swag. So, the teacher does it while they are playing. If you are wondering, we got pencils for Eleanor to give out to her friends.
