We had our Mardi Gras celebration a little later this year due to everyone's schedules, but it was still great! Mom and Dad know how to throw a fun party!

Valentine Tea Party

One of our favorite parts of Valentine season is going to the amazing Valentine tea party Kate has hosted at her house the past few years. This year, she decorated in gold and white, and it looked stunning!







Visiting the Valentine kitties before lunch - Louis

and Dina. They were so cute with their little roses.

Sam was a huge fan of the cherry limeade!


Mom made a delicious salad. Kate made wonderful sandwiches - plain grilled cheeses for the kids, and gourmet ones with 3 kinds of cheese, fig jam and honey for the adults.




Cupcakes for dessert!


The kids brought their Valentine boxes to show


Kate had made cute little gift bags for everyone


The kids loved the goodies inside - necklaces, bubbles, lip gloss, jelly beans, Pez





The grown-up ones had a special candy heart bath bomb, a heart necklace, lipstick and jelly beans. Thanks, Kate!!

We made some Valentine designs from perler beads that you melt with an iron
