Early on I went shopping for supplies. I even got roses for 50% off
When I got home the kids helped me get the table decorated for our dinner. I wanted everything set up early, so we could enjoy the pretty table during the day.
I got to work on our special dessert. I made chocolate bowls filled with homemade yummy chocolate pudding.
I've been wanting to make these chocolate bowls for a long time. Glad I finally did, so fun, and so easy too.
For the menu I decided on:
Love juice (cranberry juice)
Chicken cordon bleu
Potatoes au gratin
Roasted asparagus
Cornmeal crescent rolls
We lit the candles, and ate in the dark. It made for a really nice dinner.
We relaxed for awhile after dinner before it was dessert time. I sliced the strawberries fancy for the pudding, and then served the dessert bowls up. They were a hit. They were really tasty, and special.
It was such a fun evening. It was nice to do something different than our normal dinner. I'm so happy that this is my family. I love Patrick and our kids so much! I wanted to show them some extra love with this special meal.
