Fortunately for me I had help. Emilyn came to stay this weekend and she was a big help for the Valentine dinner. In the morning we decorated the cake, always cherry chip for Hubby. This year I called in the goddess of frosting, my niece, Hana and she came and whipped up a batch of her famous butter cream frosting. Thanks Hana!
Still in the morning we set the table, made the Twice Loved Potatoes, made our meatloaf, put together some care packages and Miss Emilyn had a photo shoot with my sister that is a Snapsister. Whew!
Our guests arrived, we enjoyed a glass of sparkling cider or champagne. Miss Adelene and Kassi, Max's girlfriend and of course, Emilyn made for a ratio of more girls than guys. A first for our dinner.
Our Valentine Menu
Berry in Love Salad
Be Still my Heart Meatloaf
Twice Loved Potatoes
Sweet & Sassy Carrots
Best Couple Ever, Bread & Butter
Dessert-
Cherry Chip Cake and Vanilla Ice Cream
After dinner we were thinking about having dessert when a car came on the yard. A quartet of Valentine singers came and serenaded us. It was so much fun. It was a surprise from Miss Ad. They brought me a rose and chocolates too. Thanks Ad! We have never had live entertainment at the valentine dinner. A blur... sorry, but you get the idea.
It was all fun but a tad exhausting for Emilyn and her doll, Emily.
More Valentine highlights coming...

Dinner looks great and the live entertainment was definitely a treat. :)
Wow - more girls than guys?!? Maybe that will happen to me someday. I've been outnumbered my whole life.
