Valentine's Day with the Lodden's

This was our 2nd Valentine's Dinner with the Loddens. We got together years ago, before all the kiddos came along and had a nice dinner at their house. This year they joined us at our house for a wonderful dinner. B treated us to a delicious steak dinner with potatoes, rolls, and fruit salad. The kids spent the evening playing together -- Annabelle and Gwyneth really enjoyed the time with their cousins. Annabelle spent most of the evening chasing Ryan around the house so she was worn out.

It was a really nice, relaxing Valentine's Evening. I don't enjoy the hoopla of these "Hallmark-Holidays", but now that we have kids I've jumped on the bandwagon of cards, candies, and treats. I want them to have fond memories of these holidays but I also don't want to go too overboard that they have unrealistic expecations of adults. Balance, balance!
