Valentine's Idea- - Brunch party: Entertaining for your own Family!

This is a repost from last year at Valentine's.
Hoping it might be an inspiration for the upcoming holiday.
I had sooo much fun putting on a party for my family,
and I am going to do the same thing again this year.
I'm sure I'll post about it again this year- -
but I needed to get my OWN creative juices flowing. :)
Enjoy!

I put on a ton of get togethers & parties every year.

Mostly because of my hubby's ministry.

But also because we just really enjoy entertaining.

I am constantly putting out the nicest things I have

just for the guests.

(Even if my nicest things I own are from WallyWorld. Ha!)

As I contemplated how I could make Valentine's

"special" for my family this year,

I decided that I would "entertain" for them.

Meaning,

I'd make the table look pretty...

And I'd make a nice brunch...

Even the baby enjoyed her raspberry covered,

heart shaped french toast.

Haha! Meet Chow-Chow & Cheesy- 2 new "dwarfs".

We passed out presents...

and played a game (every party has a good game!)...

They had so much fun!

And waking up to a refrigerator decorated with

sweet sentiment sticky notes in the shape of a heart?

Priceless.

Thanks, honey.

See, Look how sweet. (There were a few that were more

 "spicy", too. lol.)

Now if only I'd gotten a picture of him in his

Cookie Monster T-shirt from the kids.

I'm so glad that I put the effort into

making this Valentine's special for my family.

It was so worth it.
