Having someone to love is FAMILY. Having somewhere to go is HOME. Having both is a BLESSING.
We ARE SO BLESSED!

Happy Valentine's Day

SWEETHEART DAY!
We chose to spend the day for sweethearts all together.
We couldn't think of a better way to spend it!
As for what we did, that was all Mark's idea. The boys weren't too excited about it, but they went all with the plan rather graciously and the pictures that follow are a record of that special time.
Mark wanted to cook a really nice dinner and have us all dress up, decorate the table and use the china and accessories. The dinner was actually candlelight, but my flash illuminated the pictures to the point that you can't really tell except for one picture you will see below for which I turned off the flash. We even had dinner music, of course. You know that's a given with us!!

Nevaeh was so excited that she kept giggling, and giggling, and giggling! This of course, made the rest of us laugh, and laugh, and laugh!

Mark prepared the entire meal and then insisted on serving us.
We had a salad first, then roast beef, mashed potatoes & gravy, corn, buttered carrots, and rolls, various choices of pickles,sparkling white grape juice (Daryl said that we shouldn't eat a pickle and then take a drink of the grape juice! PUCKER POWER!!) and the dessert was one our boys were sure to eat! They are not big sweets eaters but they like brownies so brownies the chef made!

The two ladies of the house!
