As you have been reading for years, we celebrate Valentine's day as a family. I spend all day in the kitchen making something yummy, and we share it with some of our favorite friends.
So, this year, the Lorgs joined us again (wish the Vanni's could have joined us too!), and we celebrated together in style.
The menu: Chicken Parmesan with homemade marinara, linguini and fresh ciabata bread (yes, I made it), fresh salad (all from our garden) and everyone's favorite... my chocolate cream pie. Red wine, fine china and good company rounded off the evening.
Here's the kiddie table... also in the dining room.. They were very excited about this.
Lilly, Mel and Claire
And, of course, what is a holiday at the Z house without gifts?
One can only guess which Z parent purchased these items. Hint: It wasn't me.
Sometimes, as an adult, you buy things for your children that you really want for yourself... because every man has a secret desire for an over-sized carbohydrate fix, right?
We picked this gift out especially for Mel; she LOVES Rapunzel.
And, she was a hit!
Love it.. good friends, good food and smiling children.
This was the center of our Valentine's celebration this year... It's not about us, it's something more...
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." -John 3:16 NIV
