Fancy Valentine's Fun!

We have this book called "Fancy Nancy" that Dave's Aunt Nancy gave Leah for her 5th b-day last year. We love that book. Its all about being fancy. So, for Valentine's Day I had decided I would have a "Fancy" dinner for Dave and I. As I contemplated the days events and really Valentine's is all about LOVE, I thought it would be fun to include the kids on this "fancy" dinner. So, we went to the grocery store and purchased all we needed for our "fancy" dinner. I got dinner ready and had Leah help me "fancy-out" the dinner table. It was really fun. She has fun ideas and is a great little decorator already. I love sharing these moments with her. The best part is that I had all the decorations in my house already. When Dave got home from work dinner was ready, we had the candles lit and as soon as he walked in the door we yelled, "WE LOVE YOU!!!". The night felt so special. I made a regular dinner of red potatoes, oven baked chicken and asparagus. For desert we had chocolate covered strawberries. We all shared what we loved about each other and that was very special. It was nice to feel so much love in the house... plus we had made a very special memory and a new tradition.
