Valentine's Day Playgroup

Our Ward had a play group in celebration of Valentines day on Friday. It was the first chance we really had to interact with people outside of church on Sunday. Alyssa was very hesitant to go in at first. I think maybe she thought I was going to leave her there. But after I came and sat with her she got right to work on the craft they were doing. In the picture, she is decorating the bag that they later used to collect valentines that they passed out to each other.
Here she is working with the other kids.
And here is the finished product. She decided to skip the games and songs that the other kids were singing so that she could color her bag.
She did participate in the bingo game that they played, but couldn't resist the temptation of eating the candy they used as the markers. She almost didn't have enough to play by the end of the game. After bingo they had cupcakes and juice. Here she is about to enjoy!
Here is Ashley enjoying the fun.
It was a lot of fun and very well organized. I thought it was nice to let Alyssa interact with some other kids.
