valentine’s gathering

My college girls are coming over for a valentine exchange this evening after the boys are tucked into bed.

I used construction paper hearts, double-sided tape and fishing line to decorate the table. simple and sweet. Thanks for the inspiration, Lindsey!

Matty helped me ‘cook’ pretzels drizzled with white choclate and sprinkles. (just microwave the white chocolate in a freezer bag, snip the corner and drizzle over pretzels. They take about 2-3 hours to re-harden. Thanks for the recipe Ashlynn! And we’ll watch ‘Be my Valentine, Charlie Brown’. You might wonder if we are going to decorate brown paper bags to put our valentines in…we just might!

  1. Loving this.

    I did not know that you guys were in ministry. My husband is a minister and I have had the joy of high school and college girls.

    I hope that you had fun.

  2. Lisa you are so talented. You just have great style with everything you do. 🙂 Thanks for sharing and keeping it so simple and fun! 😉 Glad you all had a great get-away!

  3. Those pretzles look so delicious. I love the combination of sweet and salty. Have a blast with the gals tonight.Charlie Brown is THE BEST.

  4. How nice! I live in Norway, and Valentine’s is not so common here, although the book shops and some other stores are filled with hearts and cards and chocholate. This year I think we’re going to make something of it (and without the stores help..!).

  5. i wish i could come. 🙂 i’m a little far though and i am unfortunately working out at the airport…not so romantic. 🙂

  6. This just looks like so much fun! Lisa, I am a stay at home mom who finds such pleasure and inspiration from your family blog. I love it! Thanks so much…
