Kate also brought her youngest son. Since we're all baby-crazy around here, we immediately flocked around him, and it was a while before we remembered we were supposed to have a tea party!
I wanted to keep the treats simple, so I made rice krispie bars using cheerios instead, since we had everything on hand for that. We also made sugar cookies from some cookie dough frozen from Christmas.
We decorated the house with paper hearts, a collage of magazine pictures, photos of when Jacob and I were dating, and scriptures about love in pretty frames.
Then, last night, Jacob made me a marbled chocolate cheesecake! I can hardly wait to try it today!
Hope you had a fun Valentine's Day. It's really not about the commercialism and heart-shaped boxes of chocolate (at least I'd like to think that). I hope you used it as an opportunity to simply express your love.
