Romantic Dinner...for five??
Okay, so maybe not quite a "romantic" dinner...but a super FUN day - full of surprises and LOVE!!!
First off, the kids and I made cookies to take to Daddy at work to share with all of his "friends"! It is always quite the production walking into the quiet church office with three loud, crazy, children. Needless to say, we cause a stir and productivity comes to a screeching halt! But we brought treats...so it made it all better! :-)
Two of our most FAVORITE pastors at church!!!
Then it was off to the dollar store to get all the necessary supplies to transform our home into "Ristorante Jimenez"!!
We had such a fun afternoon preparing for Daddy to come home...
...and when he did walk in the door it was with many gifts in hand.
Without even knowing what was on the menu, Jason had brought salad and bread sticks from Olive Garden (which honestly compliment ANY meal!!!).
Roses for Mommy, rose for Amy, and chocolates for the boys!
Without delay our reservation was called - Jimenez - party of five!!!
After dinner, we played a "get-close" game with spaghetti noodles and Fruit Loops.
Of course, we had to demonstrate how its done first!
The boys struggled with this particular fruit loop for awhile!
The girls clearly had the lead!
(Notice the small child trying desperately to get the fruit loop OFF my noodle!!!)
Jackson could care less about the game...he just wanted all the fruit loops that failed to make it on the noodles!!!
Game over...girls won...but everyone gets dessert!
Yummy heart brownies ala mode!!!
So maybe no romance...but a wonderful day of fun and family time!!!
