Valentine's, Part 3

Our traditional candlelight family dinner for Valentine's (inspired by Linda's "Dinner with Fire"—thanks!) It's your basic spaghetti dinner all fancied up on a tablecloth and china and served in the formal dining room with sparkling cider and topped off with a box of See's California Brittle.

Cam is behind Getty's Ranch bottle pouting about spaghetti. Cam prefers pouting to tantrums (9 out of 10 moms agree). Slumped over shoulders, head hung low, and pouted up lips. It's freakin' adorable.

 This is how Getty really feels about V-Day (haha). Elle's using her new mini-blanket as a napkin. I cut both of her 3-year-old receiving blankets into smaller squares (re-attaching for the 3rd time one of her beloved red tags). They're easier to tote and don't get as dirty (in theory :)

We almost forgot about the "candlelight" part.
Boy, was Elle impressed :)
