This afternoon I hosted my second annual Mother-Daughter Valentine Tea. This year my guests were my third grade girls and their moms. What a special time we had!
 |
Mom and Peter helped me rearrange our seldom-used sun porch
into a delightful tea room. |
 |
Dad had the bright idea to give me a lovely centerpiece for the dining room table, as my Valentine's flowers this year. Flowers are all the more fun to receive when they can be enjoyed with others! |
 |
All ready for the party to begin! |
 |
Yep, I had a relaxed smile minutes before the party began--
thanks to my fantastic crew.
This party was truly a family effort.
I could not have pulled it off without all the cheerful assistance
my mom and dad and brother gave me. =) |
 |
As the guests arrived, we had a little photo booth set up to take pictures
of the moms and daughters--and a cousin-butler too! |
 |
Our super butlers, Peter and Jason!

 |
After the tea time, we gathered in the living room for a devotional. |
 |
For the devotional, I had little surprises wrapped up in packages,
for the guests to open.
Each object reminded us about God's love. Here Kate holds a bottle of Powerade, which reminds us that "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind" (2Timothy 1:7). |

Too cute! This is such an adorable idea, and you guys did a beautiful job decorating. What a wonderful blessing for those little girls! Looks like you all had a fun time, although I'm not sure who had more fun, you and the girls or Justin and Peter. :-D. -Nita
