Our LOVErly Dinner!

Each Valentine's Day, I make a special breakfast for the family. Everything is either red or heart-shaped. Because Valentine's Day fell on a Sunday this year, I changed our annual breakfast into a dinner. (I knew we'd be too rushed to sit down and eat before church.) Everyone helped make our special meal. We had pizza, cauliflower, strawberries, Shirley Temples, and pink Rice Crispy Treats! It wasn't very unique and it certainly wasn't fancy! But- a fun time was had by all, and we got to spend some quality, family time together!


Each year, the boys get gifts....which they find waiting at their spot at the table!

Hudson is ready to open his present!
...holding up his new books!
...ready to open his gift!
B is excited about his new chapter books!
And, the picture that makes every post with Hudson complete...."our ham!"
Doesn't Bryson have that 'how you doin'?' look?!
Bryson wanted to help roll out the dough!
This is the dad...who rarely makes it into a pic!
Cheesy, fake smiles for the camera!

Our pizza was made with love!
(Just have to tell you that when I said our pizza was "made with love," Bryson said..."So was I!" Well...yes, Bryson, you were....but we'll save that conversation for another night!!)
...ready to eat!
Sippin' on a Shirley Temple!

Everyone loves Rice Crispy Treats!

Bryson formed his into a heart!
After dinner, we hung out in B's room for a long time. Bryson and Josh worked on a Lego set while Hudson snuggled with me. He was hilarious. He would lay down for ten seconds and then get up to get me another blanket, pillow, or stuffed animal. The boys decided to "dog pile" on mom!! I am somewhere under all that rubble....
