My kids are the best! On our anniversary we spent the day at home anticipating spending time alone together on Saturday. When Aubrie and Keeley learned that we were not going out to dinner they leaped into action.
We were all down in the basement watching t.v. and folding clothes while dinner cooked. Aubrie was asked to set the table for dinner - her weekly job. A few minutes after going upstairs she yelled down that she was taking care of everything, "Don't come up until I tell you to, please!" This is what they prepared for us.
'Happy Annivarety Mom and Dad
with love from,
Aubrie, Keeley, Henry, Jesse and Andee'
.Candle lit dinner for two set up apart from the kids.
Sparkling Apple Cider.
Meat loaf, salad, tater tot casserole, carrots, and
baking powder biscuits buttered with a flourish by Matt.
This was my favorite part. Originally they had 14 birthday candles standing in the small bowl with peanut butter! When those burned down to nothing, they added a larger candle.
Notice the ice pack below the bowl to keep the peanut butter cold and firm? What a touch of elegance.
I loved every moment of it. I'm not sure what the kids ate, I'm sure no vegetables were consumed - and maybe that was part of the plan - It was a great anniversary.
