Girls Night

Last Sunday night, the twins and I got to join a Girls Night at a friend’s house! A couple of months ago, I started meeting twice a month with one of the ladies from our church. She used to be involved in youth ministry, but she is now the children’s ministries director at our church.

Anyway, we’ve talked about having a Girls Night at her house for quite awhile now. But we finally made it happen last week! We decided on a Valentine’s Day theme.

The twins and I were the first ones there. We started helping her prepare Valentines Day pretzel treats (pretzels topped with Hugs and pink, red, and white M&M’s.) As the other girls started arriving, we worked to make Red Velvet Oreo Chocolate Truffle bars. Yes, that was hard to remember! J

Once that was out of the oven, the pizza arrived. After we ate, we piled onto the couches in the living room under blankets to watch “Heaven is Waiting.”

As soon as the movie was over, we dug into the bars. Yes, we were a little uncivilized about it. J They were tasty though!

Then we just sort of plopped onto the kitchen floor and talked. We called our youth pastor and had him tell us a story over speaker phone, and then tried to take some group pictures.

Chatting in the living room. Excuse the mix of facial expressions! J

It was a really fun evening! I’m grateful for the chance to get to know some other girls from our church and the area. We’re looking forward to getting together again (hopefully soon!)
