School Valentine's Celebration

Arran greeted me with a card and a present.

Monday is Valentine's Day, but as there won't be school Arran's class celebrated and had their little party today. The girls and I got to go and help him check out his loot and he gave me my beautiful valentine's gift he had made.

He made a necklace and a keychain and said I could choose which one I wanted. I graciously took the keychain as I doubt James would wear the necklace too often. These hearts are a Cherry Valley tradition and parents wearing them on Valentine's Day can recognize other parents.

The girls are always so excited to go and spend time at his school and Bryttain is very aware that in a few short months she will be in that classroom with some of the same children. That is one of the nice things about it being a K/1 class, she already has some familiarity, not just with the classroom but also with some of her future classmates.

Arran very sweetly promised to share some of his candy with his sisters once he got home and in the meantime Ms. Lewis brought round heart-shaped rice krispy cakes. Then we said our goodbyes and went home for lunch, returning to pick him up a little while later.
