This week, we had the enormous privilege of being invited to Kathryn and Steve Lyde’s home for a Valentine’s Day Party! It was a super-fun party with activities for the whole family and many elaborate and delicious foods to eat!
One of the activities was a photo shoot with a Polaroid camera! Most of our pictures are not digital (WHAT?!), but this one was commissioned by Fay after the polaroid pictures were all used up, so it had to be taken on my boring old phone. Alas.
This was the pose she selected after requesting a picture of her “being cute.”
The food was seriously so fancy and yummy! There were cheeseballs and crackers for hors d’oeuvres, which were delightful! Then after some activities, we each got to decorate our OWN fruit pizza (with all the fancy berries and even the oh-so-nutrient-dense kiwi!) And THEN there was this chocolate raspberry cake business with frosting I could eat forever! Delicious and festive!
Carter and Portia also enjoyed the cake.
When I asked Carter his favorite part of the party he said “sit in chair and eat my cake.” Good thing “chair” was easily wipeable. 🙂
I don’t think this picture really needs explanation.
It was such a delightful party, and such a pleasure to see Kathryn and Steve’s new home and feel the love therein! Not to mention, it was super fun to get into the Valentine’s spirit! I think I should kiss Josh extra this month!
The next notable thing in our lives is that we are currently house/children sitting! We will be doing this for a very long time. We’ll be in Orem through Saturday and then in Bountiful for the rest of the month. Our adventures never cease!
Thank you for coming to the party and making it festive! It was so fun to have you guys over. Fay is being very cute in that picture! I’m so glad Carter liked sitting in chair and eating his cake! Also, it was so sweet when Portia snuggled up with that blanket and sucked on her thumb. I can’t believe she will be 1 year old next month — crazy! Happy Valentine’s Day!
