Actual Valentine’s day was during ski vacation for many this year, so I bumped up our traditional brunch to the 7th so more of my lovelies could attend. It was a great turnout, with lots of chatting, laughing and love. Just like it should be.
The only thing that put a damper on the festivities were the ladies who were not able to come, as they no longer live in the area. They were mentioned and missed and are still loved.
It is always so fun to decorate the table all fancy and look at all that red and pink together! Naturally the food was delicious as well. My friends are really good cooks! As a little Valentine token this year for everyone, I made some bath bombs in the shape of little chocolates and wrapped them up using praline wrappers. Apparently, one of the husband’s thought they looked so convincing, he almost ate one! 🙂
See that fun etagere with the heart on top over to the right? One of my friends brought that to the brunch as a surprise for me. I LOVE it and of course, we had to put food on it right away.
Finally, everyone had arrived and we all sat down to enjoy the feast.
Some of these women I have known since we moved here, some I only met last year, but I am so happy they all could come. Happy Valentine’s Day to friends who give me love every day of the year!
