Valentines Tea

5 or 6 years ago the girls in our family started having a Valentines Tea every year on February 14th. Most years it's just been us, but this year we decided to invite a few friends. {Scroll through to read about my special guest!} We always make as many heart shaped treats as possible {some varying from year to year... others are must haves}, make Passion tea {hot & iced} & enjoy celebrating a day set aside for showing love. Love poured on us by Jesus and overflowed onto others. 

Have a peek at our 2012 Valentine Tea<3

 Elisabeth thought up a bunch of fun games for all the girls to play!

 I met Libby* through one of the moms we serve at Heart Change {a beautiful ministry I get to help with}. She is a very quite & shy 14 yr old who loves pink, purple & anything pretty! And though she is one of the 5 children in her family who have Autism/partial blindness/other disabilities, you really wouldn't know it to talk with her! Her intelligence makes itself known, albeit quietly! Libby is the only girl in her home room at school and the only girl in her family other than her mom {she has 5 brothers!} so when a fellow volunteer asked me to start taking her out for girl time every once in a while, I said yes right away! You've gotta have girl time! It's been such a pleasure getting to know Libby and spending time with her...and bring her to my house where we definitely don't lack in the girl department!!
