A couple of Firsts

This past weekend Kai was invited to his very first friends' birthday party.  It was a ninja theme and they asked everyone to come in as much black as they could and bring a sword.  Kai spent most of the week looking forward to this party.  I think he had a really good time!

Also, yesterday was Kai's first school Valentine's party.  My sister-in-law loves making homemade Valentines and always has some fantastically creative things to hand out.  I thought I'd give it a go this year.  So, instead of store bought cards we made our very own Kai specific cards.  They turned out well, but they didn't stay together as well as I had hoped.  If I were to do something similar again, I would make a few design changes.  But I do have to say, Kai was the only one with homemade cards and I think that his were the most unique!

Very cute!

I'm a huge fan of homemade valentines, too. And you're right... not too many people take the time to make personal valentines. From the looks of the bags of valentines my two kids brought home, we were the only ones making ours personal, too. Maybe those 97-cent boxes of valentines at WalMart are just too tempting? ;)

Kai couldn't be cuter as a ninja! I love his blue eyes peeking out of his costume!

The red and pink really make your look like valentines! Have you seen ours yet? They look so similar!

About 1/3 of Owen's classmates had homemade valentines.
