Valentine's Day Party 2011

We had our annual Valentine's party with the Mom's Meetup group. In a super-awesome brain fart, I forgot to check my calendar and first took the Nugget to the wrong library branch...way across town. By the time we arrived, the party was well underway. The Nugget is a slow-to-warm up child, and the party was double the size of our usual playgroups, so it was at first horrifying to him. Until he realized there was candy and cookies to be had. And his buddy D snuck up behind him and gave him a gentle "surprise poke". She always knows how to cheer him up.

D is almost exactly one month older than the Nugget, and he adores her. I thought these pictures really captured their personalities and the goofiness that ensues when they're together. D's mom has a blog here; she is one of the co-masterminds behind all our moms' group fun.
