Love warms the Heart!

Even in the middle of winter, love warms the heart!  We recently celebrated the engagement of our daughter.  We had a little get together with the couples families.  A chance to get acquainted and toast the soon to be married couple.  This little party was sooo much fun that I wanted to share it with you.
This is the happy couple!  Aren't they just the cutest couple ever!!!
The party favors were heart cookies inside a decorated bag.  The tag had a note of congratulations on it.
A basket full of the cookies set by the door for all the guests to take as they left the party.  Such fun!!

The table had an assortment of fun little nibblers.  The cookies were made by a friend and they were yum!
The cupcakes were made and decorated by daughter #3.  She sprinkled them generously with edible glitter which made them sparkled like snow or better yet diamonds!  A (non-edible) diamond ring  was on the top of each one.
Here is another fun appetizer made again by daughter #3.  She is very talented and this little snow man was not only cute but very tasty.  Notice the little chalkboard sign beside it.  These were used to label the food.
This is the centerpiece which is fresh greens and flowers in real skates converted into a vase.  A little fake snow and some votive candles really set the mood.
We lined the sidewalk and steps with fruit jars which had a votive candle in them and more fake snow.  As you can see from the ground, we needed some snow.  After dark the candles looked so cool.
  It was a perfect party for a perfect (pear).

Warmth and Love from our Home to Yours!
