Valentines Day 2009!

Valentins this year was SO much fun! :o) Us kids didn't want to try and face the crowd at a restaurant so we just decided to have our own dinner and fun at our house. We wanted to make it special! We decided to have an italian "candle light dinner" haha. It was a blast! We had some little tea light canldes in the shape of a heart...goblet glasses...red plates...sparkling cidar & a yummy red punch...and then our spaghetti and bread! Delish!! :o) And then we had the lights dimmed with some classical music playing...it really felt like we were at a restaurant! We said this is going to be our tradition every year from now on! hehe.

our "candle lit dinner" too bad 2 of them were duds. ..
