Sweet Valentine

I am not one to get hyped about Valentine's Day, but this Valentine's was special. Steve and the kids went out of their way to create a wonderful memory. I knew something was in the making, because Kennedy was having a difficult time containing herself. I am proud of her though, because she held on tight to the secret and did not let the surprise leak.

On Valentine's night I was ordered to my room for over an hour. Before being allowed to exit, I was instructed to put on my Sunday best. I walked out of my room and was greeted by a candlelight dinner for two and Valentine's decorations. Steve and I were seated and the kids took over as our waiters. As you can see in the pictures, they were dressed in cute little black and white outfits. We were then offered menus, and told the specials of the night. Steve and the kids had made a delicious dinner of shrimp, salad, salmon, potatoes, vegetables and cheesecake. The dinner was then followed by slow dancing. The kids got such a thrill out of helping cook the dinner and playing restaurant. I thought the whole night was beautiful. Steve, Kennedy and Christopher put so much effort in to expressing their love. I feel truly blessed.
