Valentine's Day

I just wanted to jump back a few days and post some photos from our Valentine's celebration.

As has become our custom, we celebrated with a special, candle light dinner at home. I asked the boys to help me plan the menu, and they asked for Flat Iron Steak...one of the best cuts of meat out there, if you ask anybody at our house! Since I had some in the freezer (from when they had been on sale), it was no problem or expense to pull this off!

So the table was set with my pretty red tablecloth, our white dishes and my ONE splurge this year was 4 crystal goblets. They weren't expensive, just something that I normally would not have purchased.

After Clayton's basketball game, they were all ready to get to this yummy dinner...and we got a phone call that company would be dropping by! Well, we made room at the table, added a couple baked potatoes, and we were good to go. Here's a photo of our surprise guests:

Joe's nephew Nathan, his wife Christa and girls. Christa's brother had gotten married earlier that day in a town about 2 hours away, and they stopped to visit us on their way back to Indiana. It was super nice having them with us, and I think he really enjoyed riding my motorcycle around the driveway!!

And there you have it, our Valentine's celebration, in a nutshell!!! :)
