Galentine's Day Brunch

A couple of years ago, my girlfriends here started getting together to celebrate Galentine's Day (here and here). This year, Kahli hosted those of us who could attend for brunch at their new-ish house.  Kahli and Kolton have been in it for a while now but somehow several of us had yet to make the trip down to see it.  Sadly, I didn't take any pictures of all the yummy food and fun times but Kahli did manage to get this group shot before we all parted ways that day! It was a great morning spent with the girls.  It's sometimes hard for us to all get together because we all have busy lives with work, family, etc. so even when we are missing a few ladies, it's still great to get together.

Happy Galantine's Day!

Happy Galentine's Day! I wanted to something fun with the girls to celebrate our friendship.  Last year we went out to dinner with no guys allowed (because we almost always do things with couples so we don't have a lot of truly girls only outings).  I thought since we have so many babies in our friend group, it might be nice to just get together at someone's house and hang out over dinner rather than go out to a restaurant where we can't hear everyone, we have to dress up, etc.  I invited the girls over for tacos at my house! I put together a little Galentine station over at our wet bar. 

I also sent a couple of care packages to long distance friends because I don't know where I'd be without my girls!  My sister gave me a Galentine over the weekend too...so cute!

Galentine's Day!

In college a group of us girls often went and saw a movie or went to dinner in celebration of Valentine's Day.  After all, who better to celebrate love with than your best ladies? Now we are all spread out and it's not so easy to get together.  This year I decided I was going to send my out of town besties Galentines in the mail.  In my efforts to create something fun, I went to Pinterest.  I found some great ideas for friends.  I had some elastic that my sister gave me so I decided to make these cute hair ties.  I found this printable to put them on and I also found a few awesome Leslie Knope printables including these pretty cards from Brit + Co.

I am also lucky enough to have another group of ladies that I love here in town so we went to a girls only dinner on Friday night to Red Seven.  We were there for hours just chatting.  It was so fun and the perfect outing.  Kalysa came with Galentines in tow for each of us that she hand made! How cute is the one she gave me?  We also got a birthday dessert for Kahli since her birthday was on the 1st!

Best Galantine's cards ever! I had a blast with girls tonight at dinner. I am so lucky to have gained another amazing group of friends when I started dating @wacash!
