Little Ladies Luncheon

Chloe was horribly disappointed when she didn't get to take cards and candy to her preschool on Valentine's Day. The school does not allow candy and they only make a card for one classmate, which would have been okay with Chloe if she'd drawn Kayleigh's name, but she drew a boy's name. She so badly wanted to bring something for Kayleigh.

To compensate, I told Chloe we could invite Kayleigh over this week for a little Valentine's Day lunch and they could trade treats. She talked about wanting a few other church friends to come but then I started to feel stressed and think that if lots of kids came, I would have to make it into a full blown party with games and crafts. There was no room for any of that to happen this week so we decided to just have a small lunch with Kayleigh and Kennon.

I did want it to feel a little bit holiday-ish so I made more doll sized treats from our American Girl Tiny Treats book. The girls ate about 2 bites and Kennon and I ate chicken salad on croissants, so most of the little goodies didn't even get touched. I didn't care because I had a lot of fun making it all and when Alex gets home from school he will be more than happy to partake of the leftovers.

Doll-sized watermelon slices...AKA watermelon jello and mini chocolate chips in a hollowed out lime. PBJ roll ups. And my favorite...dolly soda chillin' on ice.

Okay these subs look big in the picture but they are on a breadstick and are actually quite small. The pizzas are also small and I used the mini pepperonis that they make for salads.

The girlies had little photo snowglobes on their plates (hooray for day after Valentine's clearance) so I had to get a picture or two to print for their globes.

The girls traded little Valentine's gifts and played for a couple hours and it turned out to be a lovely day. Isn't it awesome to have a BFF?
