February Recap

We hosted a brunch for a school Sweetheart dance.

Crêpes and fruit salad.

We had our family Mardi Gras dinner with everyone that was home.

{We made our traditional king cake again this year, and it was delicious!}

The most fun was welcoming home our new puppy Missi on Valentine's Day.

She was the reason behind our impulse puppy plate purchase!

I think we'll use them to celebrate her each year! 

She was born on December 20th and is such a joy (and a lot of hard work)!

Family Sweetheart Dinner 2018

My cute teen folded the napkins this year -- alternating red and pink.

These fun 'love is in the air' plates are from Pier One.

The velvet candy boxes are from my favorite local antique stop.

I love old candy boxes...espeically with graphics.

{The box on the backside of the table has a victorian couple embossed on it.}

Prepping for Family Valentine's Dinner

{We usually have this meal the Sunday before Valentine's Day. 

It just depends on what our couple/family plans are for the evening.}

Our 2017 Family Dinner.

I love this napkin fold for Valentine's Day. 

This was our table a couple of years ago.
