valentine’s day – Page 4

we started the week of love with a crush party.

the crepe bar was the highlight of the evening. to keep things simple, i made most of the crepes before the party started {our family recipe, here.} then we had each guest bring the toppings. we served dinner crepes with everything from turkey, cheese, peppers, spinach, and mushrooms.

for dessert crepes we had all the fixings: fresh berries, ice cream, whipping cream, caramel, nutella,

february 2001.

ten years ago.

i bought daphne and i, and our four little girls
valentine’s tees from old navy…

kiana was almost three,
and myla was 14 months.

we had been living in our first home for about 18 months.

i was on a huge kick with black and white photos,
and coloring focal points in the photos.

{sara had taught me how to do this!}

kiana, on another day, same month, same tee:

this little girl, will be thir-teen in two weeks…

i don’t go crazy with decorations for valentine’s day,
almost nothing compared to christmas.
but i like to have a few accents here and there,
to keep things festive with my kiddos.

after all, we are celebrating our love.

my pot rack in the kitchen and my chalkboard wall have become my favorite spots to decorate this past year ~

{…take some baker’s twine & heart doilies, and you can create a very inexpensive garland.}

i am proud of myself for keeping things simple, this valentine’s day.
trying really hard to keep with my resolutions.

{but really…these are easy-peasy, anyone could make them!}

3 things i’m thinking post-project:

1) my heart is a little sad that miss twelve doesn’t want hers, she’s-so-over-giving-valentine’s. (junior high) … {i thought it would still be cute to give them to her besties…she disagrees.}
2) kj nearly refused to participate. would NOT sit in front of a pink background, so we used black. he also has these valentine’s to give out too,

the movie. and the holiday. at our house…

over the years, dusty has been out-of-town more often than in-town for valentine’s day. which is no big deal, to me. it’s not a holiday that we place too much sentimental value on.

plus, i’ve learned…

i get way more spoiled when he’s out of town than when his real love is right next to me!

this year, dusty was on a trip to the philippines, and our oldest daughter kiana was with him. right now our kids are in a rotation of taking turns going with dad ‘alone’ to the philippines,
