4th Annual Family Valentine's Dinner!

Happy Valentine's Day!!
With this being such a busy time of year for Dwayne, we have in recent years, given up the idea of a date on Valentine's Day.  Instead, we have made it a family affair!
The kids made the decorations... even Reagan got in on it this year.  Then, we worked together to rename all our menu items to go along with our Valentine's theme. (Ellie really got on board with this this year!)  The girls wrote out menus; Andrew helped me get the decorations put up.  This is really a group effort every year, and something the kids look forward to... and so do I!

So this year, we had...
Hearts on Fire Peppered Steak
Give me A-more Salad
Wild About You Rice
Wrapped Up in Love Crescent Rolls
Swee-Tea
Red Lip Kisses on Spice Cake

All of that translates to pepper-crusted steak; romaine salad with tomatoes, toasted almond slices, shredded Swiss and Parmesan, a little bacon, and a olive oil/lemon juice dressing; wild rice; crescent rolls with cream cheese and dry ranch mix rolled up inside before baking (yum-wow!); sweet tea (of course); and tomato spice cake with cream cheese frosting and red lips (or my best attempt at red lips) piped on top with red frosting.

We hope your Valentine's Day was as love-ly as was ours!!
