Valentine's Date With Kip

This past Valentine's Day was one of my favorite Valentine's Days of all time. I went to the Kip Moore concert at the Depot with one of my favorite country loving gal pals, Laura.

The Cadillac Three was the opening band,

they were a pretty good time

Seeing Kip, as a headliner, in a small, intimate venue, was beyond amazing. He is so adorable and fun and definitely knows how to throw a party.

One thing I loved so much about this show was how personal Kip was in between shows. It's always interesting to see how different performers are when I see them live, some love to chat in between songs, others rush threw their set without saying much. Some love to interact with their fans, shaking their hands, high fiving everyone in sight, sitting on the edge of the stage to serenade a couple lucky fans (Tim McGraw) others only hand out a couple high fives during their show (Luke Bryan). One way isn't better than another, it's just interesting to see their differences, all of them put on amazing, fun shows.

Kip was one of those performers that likes to chat in between songs, he gave us backgrounds on certain songs, he talked about the struggles he overcame to get his Wild Ones album out and other fun things that were fun to learn.

Thanks Kip for such a fun night!

5th Annual Valentines Tea

YAY!

 I am finally blogging about events in 2016! Woohoo!

One of the events that I look forward to the most every year, is throwing my annual valentines tea party. I love coming up with a different theme for decorations every year, and celebrating such a cute and fun holiday with those that I love the most. This year's decor theme came from a baby shower me and my friends threw for my sister and her baby girl last year. To see pictures from that amazing get together, CLICK HERE

I brought out all the decorations I kept from the shower, and created a fun and whimsical tablescape with which I hoped the kids would be enchanted. 

These giraffe and penguin serving trays were new since the shower, so they were making their grand depute at the tea party. I think they are the most adorable things in the world, I got them at a fun boutique near 9th and 9th in Salt Lake.

Our usual guest list included a new name this year! I'm excited for Vienne to grow up with this fun tradition.

After lunch, we gathered in the living room to relax and chat, while the kids watched the adorable and hilarious movie Home. After the movie it was time for dessert, second or maybe even third dessert depending on which guest you asked ... Some indulged in the candy and chocolates more than others ;)

I sent each guest home with one of these tasty little favors, with a tag that read, "There's no one I love S'more than you!" Each jar was filled with cupcake flavored gold fish, valentine mix M&Ms and mini marshmallows.

It was such a lovely afternoon spent with the best company,

I already can't wait until next year! Thanks to all 

who attended, I love you all!
