preschool valentine's parties

we have been watching the weather very closely to see if there would be a snow day on thursday or friday causing one kid or another to miss their valentine's day parties. the boys were very happy to hear that they were going to go to school today!

mason's class had a post office/mail theme to their party. earlier in the week he had to bring in an addressed, stamped envelope to mail a valentine home to matt and me - a giant paper 'hug' from mason.  he was very excited to tell me about how he won the stacking hearts game with 21 hearts and then i found a picture posted by the preschool of his tower in progress.

we didn't have a lot of time before our very special surprise trip after lunch, but the boys used that time to dig into their valentine bags. how cute is mason's "mail bag"? love.
