Yep, we even have a Valentines tradition in our family...I'm not sure when our first dinner was...but we've had them from at least 2004 to date...so that makes 11 years!! Each has their own fond memories for us...like the time Amelia's boyfriend sent her a BEAUTIFUL bouquet of roses...and I sat at the dinner table feeling badly that my daughter got flowers and I didn't...but my sweet husband has made sure that NEVER happened again!!
And then there was the year that I told all the kids I would be arranging "special dates" for them the following year...and I did!! No one knew who would be coming to our dinner except me...and it was MEMORABLE!
We have taken our Valentines Dinner up north when most of the kids couldn't come down...and in hindsight we were SO grateful we did, as it was Denzel's last Family Dinner with nearly everyone
there.
so this year just adds to the memories!! Lots of help from Rod and the kids helping get things ready in spite of my broken arm...and it was SO much fun. Many of the pictures are taken from Dezmond's lower profile...and different perspective!! We sure LOVE our family...and enjoy getting together...even if everyone can't be here all of the time!!
We were happy to have Hans, Amelia, Dezmond, Cayman, and Granny Adams, Nat & Rj, Julie Schram, MaryAnn & Gary Zabriskie, and Rod and I all together!.
