We had a great Valentine’s Day….
The kids are showing off their cards from Grammie and Paw-Paw – complete with Visa gift card for a dinner out. Thanks, Mom and Dad Krum.

After waking up to Valentine surprises, we did our schoolwork for the day and headed out to our weekly history group where there were even more surprises – cards and treats from their friends. We brought some friends from history home with us, and the kids enjoyed sledding while my friend Izckra and I had coffee and then made dinner for the whole crew. It was to be a special candlelight dinner featuring roast beef, potato pancakes (see post below), applesauce, and green beans.
The grand finale was dessert …. a chocolate fountain! We received this as a Christmas gift, and Valentine’s Day seemed perfect for its first use. The kids were overjoyed as they dipped strawberries, pretzels, marshmallows, and apples in the cascading Hershey Bars!

A few years ago Robert and I decided that instead of trying to find a babysitter and then fight the restaurant crowds, we would just celebrate the day at home by torturing our kids with our engagement photos, wedding album, and very low quality wedding video! This is our engagement announcement as it appeared in a local newspaper. Kory’s comment: “Mom, Dad, your hair looks really bad in this picture!” Funny, that’s the same thing my grandmother said when she saw it 16 years ago! And yes, those are indeed suspenders that Robert has on – such a stud! This year I also found the receipt from our honeymoon week at the Victorian Condo Hotel in Galveston, TX. For five nights our bill was $307.95!
That is a great picture of you two! Love the suspenders. Wow!
Heehee that’s the cutest picture! 😀
Melanie,
My uncle used to live in Galveston, that’s so funny!!
adorable pic, btw.
Oh my gosh – how CUTE! What a great tradition, too! We have already decided that going out on V-Day is NOT for us, so I love this family-inclusive alternative. So fun.
What a great tradition! I love the picture!
Ugh. I want to see you all soon my dear but we are still on the mend. You are top of my list to call soon to get together.
Miss yOU!!
very funny mom. I wish you wouldn’t torture me even more
