Happy Valentine's Day, Mom & Dad ;-)

Last Saturday was Valentine's Day. The girls warned Steve & I the night before to sleep in because they wanted to prepare something special the next morning. They let us sleep until the late, late hour of 7:20 in the morning and asked us to come into the living room. They had decorated the coffee table with flowers, Valentines, presents, candy and a "delicious" breakfast. It was very, very sweet. I'm not quite sure how long my Grape Nuts had been sitting in milk but you can imagine their texture ;-) The girls have also seen me put something white on my cereal and assumed it was salt. Now you can imagine how "wonderful" it tasted ;-) It's the thought that counts, right?!

Here's a picture of the party favors "A" passed out when we were done eating ;-)

We didn't even want to attempt to eat out that night & fight the crowds so we decided to eat a "fancy" family dinner in. This is PITIFUL but after almost 17 years of marriage, I have never used my fine china! It has been sitting pretty on a shelf for years so I thought what a better time than now to use it! Of course, I had to wash the inch-thick dust off the dishes, but it was well worth it. The girls had a good time setting the table and helping prepare the steak and baked potato dinner. We also had a heart-shaped brownie for dessert. Afterwards, we watched "Wallie" - such a cute movie and a fun love story to watch for Valentine's Day!

Here's a few pics from our fun night...

We are blessed to have such sweet and thoughtful girls.
