We had a nice Valentine evening. I set the table with a love birds theme. The Be Mine take out boxes were perfect for favors and place cards. I just slid in a picture of each guest in the window and then filled with chocolates. The menu doesn't change too much. There's a heart shaped meatloaf, of course and then I just fill in.
Ad noticed right away that I had changed the dessert. It's usually a heart shaped cherry chip cake, but this year I made cheesecake. I'll get there but the crust needs work. No cracks! That made me happy.
Kassie came again this year. She's a good sport putting up with Max.
Ad likes to have her picture taken with a good lookin' guy. Since Danny and Sam are gone, Max filled in for the guy. ;)
This year I invited my friend, Emily. She had some issues with Valentines Day, LoVe WeeK and all that wonderfulness. I felt we might be able to help her. She had a bad junior high experience.
She had therapy in her classroom from an anonymous friend.
Then she came to our house for dinner.
We had a good time, lots of laughs, good food with dear friends, and purple carnations as the centerpiece. Sometimes the past just has to be faced, dealt with and forgotten.
I think she's healed.
*more love week coming...

Ms Emily is so fortunate to have such good friends (anonymous and otherwise) to help her deal with the past and to make this S.A.D. such a fun one. You set a beautiful table and have a fabulous tradition to celebrate the day of love!

You set the bar high girl!!! I was tempted to do papa m's heart pizza, but I didn't even get that done!!! The red velvet from Costco covered everything though!!
