Dinner on the lawn

L-R: Ty, Freidel, David, Annette, Sheena (in hood :), Bronte

I posted on the little white board outside of our room a countdown for Valentines Day - and the Faser’s wrote a note saying "Tell us when the PARTY is, we want to JOIN!" So I couldn’t let them down!  We planned dinner on the lawn - EVERYONE INVITED!  Annette brought salad and potatoes, and we provided our own meat.  

I went ALL OUT setting the table with all the china of course, even little Tea Cups for HOT CHOCOLATE.  Picked flowers from the GARDEN.  The POPPY’s I have been waiting and pining to pick just for today.

We stayed and enjoyed dinner until the sun went down and the CANDLES stayed alit.  

Chocolates

Sunita & I

Us girls provided dessert.  We CHOSE these little round chocolate cake balls from the local bakery - Our favorite: Virtue Bakes.  ONE for Each.

Served w/ HOT CHOCOLATE

Sweet Little Things

 Miss Bronte wouldn’t think of having Valentines Day without Australian CADBURY Chocolate!  J  HA HA!! 

 Poppy’s - There is just something SACRED and GORGEOUS about these simple flowers on their long curly stems! (My first appreciation of them started at the oil paintings Charlotte made of them). I decided this year they are MEANT FOR Valentine’s Day! 

* I had so much fun! *

Happy Valentine’s Day!!
